Scaling
Purpose Selects a new line spacing and different horizontal by vertical (H
x V) dot density from the standard 120 x 72 base density. (See
Comments below.)
Mode Graphics with a Standard Graphics Command selected
Format (cc) @ M
scale 00 (cc)-
(cc) Represents the Special Function Control Code
(SFCC). Enter the SFCC for your Code V
configuration.
@ Specifies one of the @ commands. Enter @ to
begin an @ command function.
M Specifies the Scaling command. Enter M to change
the horizontal and vertical scaling.
scale Represents the scaling parameter. Enter one of the
two-digit codes shown in Table 15 to select a new
scaling. For example, with an MVP printer, enter 02
to select mode 2, 120 x 72 (H x V) dpi scale.
Once the new scaling is selected, all printing
reflects the new scale in horizontal by vertical dots
per inch (dpi) until scaling is disabled or the Code V
returns to the Normal Mode.
00 Toggles scaling on and off. When 00 is first
entered, the scaling value as selected in the
scale
parameter is enabled if a printer is selected through
the “Prt to Emulate” option. When 00 is entered
again, scaling is disabled and the Code V returns to
the default scaling configuration.
(cc)- Graphics Mode CR. Enter the SFCC for your Code
V configuration followed by - to end the command
sequence.
Comments Dot density varies by printer mode; selecting a different printer
mode selects a different horizontal and vertical dot density. This
varying density can affect graphic elements created in one
particular mode but printed in a different mode. Scaling permits
graphic elements, such as corners or boxes, to retain their
physical shapes and sizes when printed in a horizontal and
vertical density other than the base density of 120 x 72 dpi.
Note If the Code V Option “Prt to Emulate” is selected, scaling is
enabled.
