The SM commands draws the specified symbol at each X, Y coordinate point for
subsequent PA, PD, PE, PR, and PU commands. The SM command includes an automatic
pen down; after the symbol is drawn, the pen position and any dashed-line residue are
restored.
No parameter - Terminates symbol mode.
Character - Draws the specified character centered at each subsequent X, Y coordinate. The
symbol is drawn in addition to the usual function of each HPGL/2 command.
The character is drawn in the font selected at the time the vectors are drawn. If you change
to a new symbol set, the character changes to the corresponding character from the new
symbol set, The size (SI and SR), slant (SL), and direction (DI and DR) commands affect
how the character is drawn. Specifying a non-printing character cancels symbol mode.
An SM command remains in effect until another SM command is executed or the printer is
initialized or set to the default conditions.
