Advanced Format Attributes
Two different advanced formatting attributes extend the text presentation capabilities.
The first format attribute allows a set of label format records to make a state change
that modifies the font attributes of any following DPL text records. The second format
attribute provides a means of inserting text and font formatting commands directly
into the DPL data stream via a command delimiter structure. All label formats begin
by default with attributes disabled.
The table below represents the current list of font attributes available to the user. Note
that these commands are delimited by the \<xxx> sequence (where xxx is from the list
below).
Command Units Purpose
FB +/-
Turns on or off font boldfacing. Minus “-” is disable; plus
“+” is enable.
FI +/-
Turns on or off font italicization. Minus “-” is disable; plus
“+” is enable.
FU +/-
Turns on or off underlining of string. Minus “-” is disable;
plus “+” is enable.
FPn Points
Specifies the vertical point size of the following text relative
to the base line.
FSn Points
Specifies the horizontal point size of the following text
relative to the base line.
FR[+/-]n Degrees
Specifies the rotation of the base line, relative to the
original print direction of the record.
If a + or – precedes the numeric value, then the direction is
relative to the current print direction.
Note: These commands are only valid for scalable fonts, such as Internal Font 9, S00, S01,
or downloaded TrueType scalable fonts. (Some models have limited standard font sets
and capabilities; see the notes below for applicability of commands and consult the
appropriate Operator’s Manual for available standard and optional font sets.)
For example, the first format attribute command can be illustrated as follows. The text
below and the resulting label are examples of a current DPL format:
