7265 Programmer’s Manual 66Copyright © 2004 TallyGenicom Chapter 4 ANSI OversizedOversized Versus ExpandedThere are two ANSI functions that print characters scaled according to the Graphics Size Modificationparameters. Both expanded and oversized are standard features with this printer. You can get into expandedmode accidentally when you send the Graphic Size Modification sequence.100 LPRINT CHR$(27);"[720e"; 'vp_relative110 LPRINT "Expanded ";120 LPRINT CHR$(27);"[400;400 B"; 'graphic size mod130 LPRINT "ABCj" 'drops into expanded140 LPRINT CHR$(27);"[0t"; 'cancel mode150 LPRINT "Oversized ";160 LPRINT CHR$(27);"[1|"; 'set oversized170 LPRINT "ABCj"180 LPRINT CHR$(27);"[0t" 'cancel modeFigure 4-1 Expanded and OversizedExpanded mode is based on the current font, is limited to 8x the parent font size, and propagatesup from the baseline. Reverse paper motion occurs for vertical expansions. The horizontalresolution reflects the current font selection. If you send a line feed character while in expandedmode, then the paper advances by the current vertical expansion factor times the current line-feed increment.Oversized is based on a unique font, is rotatable, expandable to 1870x, and propagates downfrom the top of the character cell. The resolution is always 120 dpih x 144 dpiv. If you send a linefeed character while in oversized, then paper advances five dot rows for 0o rotation, ornine dot rows for 270o rotation. The scaling algorithms for the oversized function areobviously better.Setting the ExpansionThe size of the parent oversized font is 10 points (12 cpi). You can set the horizontal and verticaldimensions of oversized characters separately in increments of 100% of the parent font size.Limits are 100% to 18,700%. The larger number corresponds to an uppercase M about 18.7inches high. The control sequence that sets the expansion is the ANSI Graphic Size Modification:
