2001/10/02 CF - Character fill mode CF [ fill [, pen ]] [;] fill : the fill pattern used to fill characters pen : the pen used to edge characters • This command determines how characters are edged and filled. • Only scalable fonts can be both filled and edged - bitmap fonts and the stick font cannot be edged and can only be filled with raster fill, shading or PCL cross-hatch patterns. Scalable characters can be filled with any pattern specified by the FT command. • Permissible values of fill are 0, 1, 2 and 3. If fill = 0 characters are filled with a solid fill and edged. If fill = 1 characters are edged but not filled. (Bitmap characters and stick font characters are filled as they cannot be edged.) If fill = 2 characters are filled using the current fill type, but not edged. If fill = 3 characters are filled, using the current fill type and edged. • pen can be either 0 or 1. A value of 0 specifies the edging pen to be white; a value of 1 selects the black pen for edging. If no pen is specified in the instruction the current pen, as selected with the SP command, is used. • The width of the edging pen is proportional to the character's point size. • The fill line width used for cross hatch patterns is set with the PW command. • If you omit both parameters solid fill and the white edging pen are selected - this is equivalent to CF0.0; • If the command is not used all characters are solid and unedged. • A CF command remains in effect until an IN command is used to initialize the printer, a DF command is used to restore the default settings or another CF command is invoked. 10 '-Character Fill Mode 20 WIDTH "LPT1:", 255 30 LPRINT CHR$(27); "E"; 40 LPRINT CHR$(27); "%0B"; 50 LPRINT "IN;SP1;"; 60 LPRINT "SD1,21,2,1,4,140,5,0,6,3,7,52;SS;" 70 LPRINT "PA1000,3000;DT*;FT3,50,45;" 80 LPRINT "CF1,1;LBA*;" 90 LPRINT "PW0.1;CF3,1;LBB*;" 100 LPRINT "PW0.5;LBC*;" 110 LPRINT CHR$(27); "%0A"; 120 LPRINT CHR$(27); "E"; 130 END SI - Set absolute character size SI [ width, height ] [;] width : the width in centimeters of printed characters height : the height in centimeters of printed characters • This command allows you to specify the size of the characters that you print with the LB instruction in centimeters. • width specifies character width and is a clamped real number. Negative values of width produce right-to-left mirror image characters. • height specifies the height of a capital letter and is a clamped real number. Negative values of height produce upside-down mirror image characters. • If you change character size, the line width used to draw stick font characters may also change. • If you omit the parameters, the character size is as specified by the most recent SD or AD command. • If an SB1; command has previously been issued, printed characters may not be exactly the size that you specify. • If an SB1; command has been issued, specifying a negative value will not produce mirror image characters.
