REOUCTION
In addition to reduction, default character size can be enlarged slightly by
moving PI and P2 to their respective corners of the hard-clip limits. Doing
so increases the length ofPl-P2 to its maximum. Positioning P2 below the
PI-P2 diagonal will result in short, wide characters, due to the change in
the height-to-width ratio. Similarly, positioning P2 above the diagonal will
create tall, narrow characters. Extreme changes in either the vertical or
horizontal distances between PI and P2, however, will result in illegible or
hard-to-read characters.
The PI and P2 scaling points are moved in a manner similar to moving the
zero and full-scale points. To move P2, press
(
S
H
I
FT
)
P2
to invoke the P2
positioning function. The pen will move to a point above the current P2
location. (Be cerain "SHrFT" is displayed
before
pressing
P2,
otherwise the
full-scale point will be moved instead of P2.)
The
FULL SCALE/P2
indicator remains lit while the
P2
positioning function is
in effect, indicating that the pen cursor controls can be used to position P2.
To reduce character size, for example, use the pen cursor controls to move
P2 towards PI along the diagonal PI-P2. (The final location ofP2 does not
have to lie exactly upon PI-P2, an approximate location will do.) After
positioning P2, exit the function by pressing the
P2
push button. This turns
off the indicator, establishes the new P2 position, and allows you to use the
pen cursor controls without affecting P2.
NOTE:
Always exit the P2 positioning function to prevent accidental
repositioning of P2
. •
Although moving only P2 will accomplish most required character size
modifications, PI can also be repositioned. To position PI, press
(SHIFT) Pt.
The pen will move to the current PI position, and the
ZERO/P1
indicator will
light. (Be certain that "SHIFT" appears on the LCD
before
pressing
Pt,
otherwise the zero point will be moved instead of PI.)
As long as the PI positioning function is in effect, as shown by the lit
ZERO/Pt
indicator, the pen cursor controls can be used to move the pen to a
desired PI location. Mter you have positioned the pen, exit the function by
