EXPLANATION
Sets the size of characters to be drawn with the “ P" and “ N ” commands. It has no connection
with the plotter units selected by the DIP switch.
The parameter n must be between 0 and 127 and, as shown in the table below, both the
character and symbol size as well as the character interval arc drawn with the value ( n + 1) when
n = 0.
When a parameter outside the range is specified, this command is ignored and the previously
specified S command is valid.
When n = 0 Character height : (0 + 1) x 0 .8 = 0 .8mm
Character width : (0 + 1) x 0 .4 = 0 .4 mm
Character spacing: (0 + 1) x 0 . 2 = 0.2mm
Line spacing
: (0 + 1) x 1 .6 = 1.6mm
