Baseline position (UI) -

Bitmap font -

the height in dots from the top of the character cell to the baseline. The units of dots is
the same as the defined font resolution. This number can be in the range 0 to (cell
height - 1).

Intellifont scalable - a Y coordinate in the design cell.

TrueType scalable - the height in dots from the top of the character cell to the baseline. This should be set

to 0.

Cell width (UI) - ignored by these printers. The width in dots of the character cell. This can be from 1 to

65535.

Cell height (UI) - ignored by these printers. The height in dots of the character cell. This can be from 1 to

65535.

Orientation (UB) - 0(portrait), 1(landscape), 2(reverse portrait) or 3(reverse landscape). Ignored by these

printers.

Spacing (B) - the type of spacing, 0 (fixed pitch) or 1 (proportional spacing).

Symbol set (UI) - a symbol set ID consists of a number and a letter. The symbol set attribute value is

calculated as follows: symbol set = (32 x number) + (ASCII value of letter - 64). For example, Math-8 has
the symbol set ID '8M' so it would be encoded as (32 x 8) + (77 – 64) = 269.
