SI, Absolute Character Size This command specifies the size of labeling characters in centimeters. Use SI to establish character size independent of P1 and P2. SI width, height[;] or SI [;] Parameter width height Format clamped real clamped real Functional Range -32768 to 32767 -32768 to 32767 Default dependent* dependent* Note * Dependent on the current pitch and font height set by the AD or SD commands. While SI is in effect, with or without specifying parameter values, the size of characters in the currently selected font are not affected by changes in P1 and P2. z No Parameters- Character size is as specified by the SD (Standard Font Definition) and AD (Alternate Font Definition) commands. z Width- Specifies the width of the nominal character in centimeters. A negative width parameter mirrors labels in the right-to-left direction. Changing character size also changes the width of line used to draw Stick font characters. z Height- Specifies the cap height in centimeters. A negative height parameter mirrors labels in the top-to-bottom direction. Note that in most languages the width of a letter is typically less than the height. If you set your characters to have a different 'aspect ratio', they may look odd to your readers. An SI command remains in effect until another SI command is executed, an SR command is executed, or the printer is initialized or set to default conditions. 23-74 The Character Group EN
