CMX CHARACTER MULTIPLIER X DIRECTION
This parameter multiplies each character in the X direction. The valid range is 1 to
65536.
CMY CHARACTER MULTIPLIER Y DIRECTION
This parameter multiplies each character in the Y direction. The valid range is 1 to
65536.
CS CHARACTER SPACING
This parameter adjusts the spacing between each character. If this parameter is not
used, then the default for the selected character generator (CGN) is used. The values
(0-127) add dots and (128-255) subtract dots. For example, a value of 4 inserts 4 dots
between characters and a value of 131 would subtract 4 dots between characters. Bar
codes have default spacing according to the indicated multiplier. Multiplying a text
string will not multiply the spacing between characters. This element should be used to
properly space the characters.
TSP TEXT STARTING POSITION
This parameter marks the starting position of the character in the text string to be used
as data. This is useful for allowing several fields to use sections of the same text string,
minimizing the amount of data transmitted. For example, for the text string
0123456789, A TSP of 5 and a CC (character count) of 2 would print 45. See section
5.3.4 for use of this parameter with clock fields.

AN ATTRIBUTE NUMBER
If this parameter is set to a value of 2, the character spacing will be fixed/non-
proportional. A value of 0 is proportional (if available). Reversed text (white on black) is
created by setting this value to 1 and printing a black box on top of the text. (Special
note: The AN of the line field should also be set to a 1 for a reversed image.) A value
of 3 will print both fixed/non-proportional character spacing and reversed text.
