CS
CHARACTER SPACING
The spacing between each character. If this parameter is not used, then the default for the
selected character generator (CGN) is used. Barcodes 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
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.
CLX
CHARACTER CELL LENGTH X DIRECTION
This will override the width of the characters in the selected character generator. This
element is used only in special cases, such as drawing lines. It will form an incomplete
character.
CLY
CHARACTER CELL LENGTH Y DIRECTION
This elements will over-ride the height of the characters in the selected character
generator. This element is used only in creating lines.
