CGN CHARACTER GENERATOR NUMBER
The generator numbers and specifications are shown below.
Vector Font Descriptions
CGN Font Type
1
2 Standard ASCII (characters up to 7F hex)
Extended ASCII (characters up to FF hex)
Table 8
FO FIELD ORIENTATION
This parameter defines field rotation and has a value between 0 and 359. A value of 0
is normal and a value of 180 is upside down. The point of rotation is determined from
the field justification. The positioning of data relative to field orientation and field
justification can sometimes be confusing. Refer to Table 6 for more detailed information
on field orientation and field justification interaction.
FJ FIELD JUSTIFICATION
This parameter defines the justification of each field on the label. (VECTOR FONT
FIELD JUSTIFICATION IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME)
0 Left justified above base-line.
1 Right justified above base-line.
2 Left justified below base-line.
3 Right justified below base-line.
4 Centered above base-line.
5 Centered below base-line.
CWX CHARACTER WIDTH X DIRECTION
This parameter sets the width of each character in the X direction. A value of 203 would
produce a character approximately 1 inch wide.
CWY CHARACTER HEIGHT Y DIRECTION
This parameter sets the width of each character in the Y direction. A value of 203 would
produce a character approximately 1 inch high.
CS CHARACTER SPACING
This parameter defines the spacing between each character. If this parameter is not
used, a proper default spacing will be selected according to the characters size
selected. Values 0 to 255 are positive space kerning and 256 to 512 are negative
space kerning. For example, a value of 2 would add 2 dots between each character
and a value of 257 would subtract 2 spaces from each character.
