PRESCRIBE Command Reference Text Spacing Commands These commands control the line spacing, character spacing, underline spacing, and underline thickness. The SLS and SLPI commands are used to set the line spacing. The SCS and SCPI commands are used to set the character spacing. These spacing settings may be changed even in the middle of a page. The table below lists the minimum, maximum, and default values for the text spacing command parameters. If values outside of the above ranges are used, the command is ignored. If a value smaller than one dot is specified for the character spacing, it is interpreted as 0, which results in proportional spacing.

Text Spacing Commands
These commands control the line spacing, character spacing, underline spacing, and
underline thickness. The SLS and SLPI commands are used to set the line spacing. The
SCS and SCPI commands are used to set the character spacing. These spacing settings
may be changed even in the middle of a page.
The table below lists the minimum, maximum, and default values for the text spacing
command parameters. If values outside of the above ranges are used, the command is
ignored. If a value smaller than one dot is specified for the character spacing, it is
interpreted as 0, which results in proportional spacing.
Using the font mode (FTMD command), the line spacing and character spacing can be
set automatically when the bitmap fonts are selected. Refer to the sections on the FTMD
and SFA commands for additional details.
