Print Attributes
The PRINT ATTRIBUTES parameter is used to determine character and
page formatting.
• PROPORTIONAL SPACING uses proportional spacing for text data
when enabled.
DISABLE is the default.
ENABLE uses proportional spacing for text data.
NOTE: Proportional spacing is only supported in 10 CPI. Therefore, you
must select 10 CPI, or proportional spacing will be ignored.
• ITALIC PRINT prints text in italics, when enabled. Both a forward and
backwards slanting italic are available.
DISABLE is the default.
FORWARD SLANT uses italic print that slants forward.
BACKWARD SLANT uses italic print that slants backward.
• SLASHED ZERO prints zeros with a slash, when enabled, to distinguish
zeros from the alphabetic capital “O.”
DISABLE is the default.
ENABLE prints zeros with a slash.
• TEXT POSITION specifies where the text will be positioned in the line
space. When set to Top of Line, text will be positioned at the top of the
line space. When set to Bottom of Line, the text will be positioned as if it
were at the bottom of a 6 lpi line space.
BOTTOM OF LINE is the default
TOP OF LINE
