FILE CONTROL TASKS9-14 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS OPERATOR GUIDESCALEUse this command to scale 300 spi fonts, forms, and logos to 600 spiequivalents. To scale fonts and logos, SCALE doubles all positioningmetrics in the output file and employs the same set of interpolationrules used by the ROS to render the 600 spi character bit maps. Theappearance of the fonts and logos produced by the SCALE andprinted at 600 spi is indistinguishable from the appearance of thesame unscaled 300 spi files interpolated by the ROS. Forms arescaled by changing all internal references to font, logos, and imagesin the form header to refer to FN6, LG6, IM6 entities.Logon level Levels 1 through 5.Syntax SCALEinput-filename.file-type 1 [output-filename.file-type 2][/a | /b | /o | /5]Parameters Table 9-14 shows the parameters of the SCALE command.Table 9-14. Parameters of the SCALE commandParameter Descriptioninput-filename Specifies the font (.FNT), form (.FRM) or logo(.LGO) file to be converted to 600 spi.filetype1 Specifies the file type as .FNT, .FRM or .LGO.output-filename Specifies the name for the new 600 spi file.filetype2 Specifies the file type as .FNT or .FN6, .FRM or.FR6, .LGO or .LG6, .MSC or .TMP; usually “6”is substituted for the last character of theoriginal file type./b Doubles the font or logo bitmaps instead ofusing the interpolation formula to scale theinput file./O Overwrites the output filename withoutprompting./A Overrides the escapement error message **DiagChar NNN in XYZABC.FN6 exceedsbyte escape, set to 0.425 in ** ifthe font is not used Interpress and justificationis not required. If the switch /A assignescapement is added to the command line(that is , SCALE XYZABC.FNT /A), SCALEsets the width of the large characters to 255/600 (.425) inches. Widths overridden in thismanner may yield “compressed” characterswhen used in Interpress printing. Problemcharacters will typically be in 36 point fonts andabove.
