Instruction manual

C9. alignment Alignment of constant text in the field. Options:
L Align on left side of field.
C Center text within field (for monospaced fonts only)
R Align on right side of field (for monospaced fonts only)
B Align at midpoint of field
E Align at end of field.
Use L, B, or E for any font.
C10. char rot Character rotation. The field or supply does not rotate, only the characters do. Options:
0 Top of character points to top of field
1 Top of character points to left of field
2 Top of character points to bottom of field
3 Top of character points to right of field
Note: Font 50 and downloaded TrueType fonts do not support character rotation.
C11. field rot Field rotation. Field rotation rotates the whole field, not just the characters. Rotation is affected by
the pivot point, which varies depending on how text is justified. Lower left corner of field is the pivot
point. Options:
0 Top of overlay points to top of supply
1 Top of overlay points to left of supply
2 Top of overlay points to bottom of supply
3 Top of overlay points to right of supply
C12. “fixed char” Fixed characters to appear in the field. Maximum 2710 characters. Enclose in quotation marks.
C13. sym set Symbol set. Use 0 for the Internal Symbol Set. For scalable or TrueTypeâ fonts, use:
1 ANSI Symbol Set
102 Unicode (user input) for particular mapping

The Standard, Reduced, Bold, OCRA and HR fonts only support the Internal Symbol Set (0). The
CG Triumvirateä typefaces support only the ANSI and DOS Code 437 and 850 symbol sets. The
scalable font (font 50) does not support Code Page 1256 (Arabic). Code pages 852-860 and
1250-1258 are for downloaded TrueType fonts or the scalable font. Symbol Set 102 (Unicode)
requires a downloaded International TrueType font (stored on a memory card). TrueType fonts are
designed to be regionally specific; therefore, all code pages may not be supported in a given font.
See Appendix C, "Symbol Sets/Code Pages" for more information.
Example C,30,10,0,1,1,1,B,L,0,0,"MADE IN USA",0 p
Defines a constant text field starting at row 30, column 10. It does not have any additional
inter-character gap. The Standard font is used without any additional magnification. The
printing is black on white and left justified. No field or character rotation is used. “MADE IN
USA” is printed in this field. The internal symbol set is used.
