Command: Function:
Enhanced Receipts
Draw Horizontal Line
This command draws a horizontal line. The line is one dot wide and its length
equals the entry that you substitute for ‘c’.
Note: It is recommended that you use the Row/Column command after you create
a box to avoid any confusion regarding the location of the cursor following this
command.
Line Thickness Command
This command is used to allow the user to designate the line thickness used in
connection with the Draw Box, Draw Vertical Line and Draw Horizontal Line
commands. Replace the # sign with the requested thickness of the line. This entry
should be specified BEFORE any of the drawing commands. After a line is drawn
the printer reverts back to the default line thickness of 1 dpi. The thickness of a
line grows towards the center of the box. A vertical line grows to the right and a
horizontal line grows towards the bottom of a ticket.
Limitations: Vertical/Horizontal lines can have a maximum thickness of 8 dots.
The line thickness of a box cannot be more than ½ the size of the smallest box
dimension. For example, a 10 x 20 box cannot have a line thickness greater than
5.
