CMX

CHARACTER MULTIPLIER X DIRECTION
This parameter multiplies each character in the X direction. The valid range is 1 to 8.
(Values above 8 are possible but produce poor quality and are slower to process.)

CMY

CHARACTER MULTIPLIER Y DIRECTION
This parameter multiplies each character in the Y direction. The valid range is 1 to
65536. (Values above 8 produce poor print quality and are not recommended.

CS

CHARACTER SPACING
This parameter adjusts the spacing between each character. If this parameter is not
used, then the default for the selected character generator (CGN) is used. Bar codes
have default spacing according to the indicated multiplier. Multiplying a text string will
not multiply the spacing between characters. This element should be used to properly
space the characters.

TSP

TEXT STARTING POSITION
This parameter marks the starting position of the character in the text string to be used
as data. This is useful for allowing several fields to use sections of the same text string,
minimizing the amount of data transmitted. For example, for the text string
0123456789, A TSP of 5 and a CC (character count) of 2 would print 45. See section
5.3.4 for use of this parameter with clock fields.

CONSTANT FIELD
This field is always defaulted.

CONSTANT FIELD
This field is always defaulted.

AN

ATTRIBUTE NUMBER
If this parameter is set to a value of 1, the printed image will reverse if placed on top of
another image (white on black background). A value of 0 is normal. (Note: If reverse
imaging is desired, the AN should be set on all fields that overlap each other.)
