- 137 -
- (*_*)
(* and *) are used to specify the internal codes corresponding to the
character string to be displayed. The character codes must be
specified in hexadecimal.
The codes must be delimited by a space. Hiragana and Kanji
characters each take a space twice wider than a single-byte character.
Example
G243(*46 41 4E 55 43 2D*) ;
G243(*4E 43 20 4175 4356*) ;
" " is displayed.
NOTE
Use the JIS codes (codes given in the Katakana
Code Table and the Chinese and Hiragana Code
Table in Appendix B).
- Address A
Address A specifies the character size.
A=1 : Standard size
=2 : Double size
=3 : Triple size (three times wider and two times higher)
- Double-size characters can be used to display standard-size
characters (codes in the katakana code table, alphanumeric code
table, and symbol table in Appendix B, "Code Tables") in the
same size as for kanji characters. Kanji and hiragana codes
cannot be displayed. However, in coding with (_), usable codes
are limited. In coding with ('_'), the single quotation mark (')
(27) cannot be displayed as a double-size character.
- The triple size is three times wider and two times higher than the
standard size. The characters that can be displayed with the triple
size are the alphabetic characters, digits, the minus sign, the
decimal point, and the space. No other characters can be
displayed with the triple size.
Example
- Standard size G243 Xx Yy A1 (8)
- Double size G243 Xx Yy A2 (8)
- Triple size G243 Xx Yy A3 (8)
