The FR 80 is designed and manufactured by Information
International, Inc. (hereinafter called III).
The configuration of the FR SO system is shown in figure 1-1.
The system normally operates off-line. While reading
digital data from magnetic tape, the system processes
the information and records characters and vectors on
a high-precision, cathode-ray tube.
A special camera
system photographs the face of the tube.
The resulting
film must be processed in an off-line unit.
The method
of processing will determine the polarity of the photographic image as positive or negative.
Film duplicates,
enlarged paper reproductions, or printing masters can
be made from the original film.

Introduction
paper tape units serve as a 10-character-per-second
auxiliary communications link with the processor unit.

1.5
The basic binary processor utilizes an l8-bit word and
a 4096-word expandable core memory. Serving as the
central control unit of the system, the processor combines operating data and plotting instructions for
routing to the data translator. ~under programcon~iol,
the processor instructs the data translator to generate
the alphanumerics, vectors, and special forms required.

T ran s 1 a tor
The high precision and versatility of the FR 80 is
determined by the function generators and control circuitry contained in the data translator, which is subdivided into a vector generator, character generator,
point plot circuitry, and control circuits for the
monitor and recording section.
Upon command from the
processor, the digital data received by the translator
is converted to analog signals that control the precision -light source deflection beam. The deflection
(""'"
drive signals are corrected for linearity and appropriab ~)
focus.
Astigmatism signals are generated and routed to
the light source deflection coils.
Control signals from
the data translator maintain control of the camera and
monitor functions.

Electrical signals are converted into a recorded film
image in the recording unit, which comprises a precision light source, optics, and microfilm camera.
Electromagnetic deflection is used to position the
light source beam and achieve the best possible image
quality. The created image- is focused by the optical
system and recorded by the microfilm camera. 'The recording cameras are available with incremental pulldown.
The flexibility of the FR 80 permits the addition of
Miracode and other retrieval codes to the microfilm
record. A display monitor provides the operator with a
window into the system. A 10" x 13" cathode-ray display
tube is driven in parallel with the precision light.
source to provide an accurate view of the recorded image.

FR 80 FEATURES
MAG NET I C
T RAN S P 0 R T
2.1
A standard FR 80 includes either a 7-track (556/800 bits
per inch -- bpi) or 9-track (800 bpi) magnetic tape
transport.
These tape drives may be used in any combination up to a total of four, and operate at a speed
of 37-1/2 inches per second (ips), providing a maximum
transfer rate of 30,000 characters per second (cps) for
an 800 bpi drive.
Optional tape drives include a 75
ips version of the above two drives, with a maximum data
transfer rate of 60,000 cps for an 800 bpi drive.
2.2
A 1600 bpi tape drive is also available for the FR 80.
Its speed is 37-1/2 ips, with a maximum data transfer
rate of 60,000 cps.
It is available as 1600 bpi read/
write or dual read i600 bpi phase encoded/800 NRZI.
2.3
The forenamed magnetic tape drives are IBM tapecompatib.le.
A write feature is standard and is required
for each FR 80.

DIS P LAY
2.5
The FR 80 utilizes an ASR-33 Teletype for communication
with the controller. An optional ASR-35 Teletype is
available.
The Teletype includes a 10 cps paper tape
reader and paper tape punch.
High-speed paper tape
readers and punches are optionally available.
The paper
tape reader is used for the bootstrap loader and various
other utility routines. When compiling forms on an 8K
tape system, both the reader and punch are required.
M 0 NIT 0 R
The standard FR 80 contains a 10" x 13" cathode-ray tube
display monitor.
The monitor is driven by the same
deflection system as the recording precision CRT. Therefore, it displays exactly what is being recorded on film.
In addition, there is a view-only capability which allows
the display to be on" the monitor and not on the recording
CRT.

F RAM E
2.7
While the system is in the idle status, the current
settings of the resident simulator are continuously
refreshed on the monitor, which also serves as a display for use in designing forms.
The monitor is also
very helpful for editing and debugging software, as
well as for analyzing magnetic tape records.
ROT A T ION
The FR SO can generate either cine or comic mode microfilm in all available cameras.
The technique of accomplishing this is unique in that i t is done completely
through a software mode set in the FR SO.
The advantage
of this capability is that the CRT is not manually
rotated, thus eliminating potential CRT alignment and
camera focus problems.
DIS K
2.S
FOR M S
There is provision in the FR SO for an optional disk
drive and controller.
The disk is a fixed-head type
(nonremovable) with a capacity of 262.,144 is-bit words
and an average access time of 16 milliseconds.' The
transfer rate is 3 megabits per second.
Uses of the
disk include:
1.
Storage of programs and forms for rapid loading.
2.
Required for the disk operating system versions
of the assembler, editor, and debug.
3.
Interactive design of forms on-line.
OVERLAY
CAP A B I LIT Y
2.9
A forms overlay capability is standard on the FR SO.
Forms are created on the FR SO through the use of a
special software package. A form can be designed and
verified by an FR SOoperat'or with a minimum amount of
experience. Forms generation is an integral part of
the operator training course. A properly trained operator will require approximately one hour to design a
typical computer printout form containing both vectors
and characters.

2.10
The FR SO utilizes a 5 II precision CRT for the recording
of print and plot data.
The CRT is optically flat and
has a programmable raster of 16,384 by 16,384 points,

for a total of more than a quarter of a billion addressable locations.
As part of the deflection circuitry,
there is sophisticated correction logic to compensate
for geometric distortion common to CRT display systems.
2.11
The image size is continuously variable for all cameras
and film sizes up to the maximum image size (see table
2-1 for FR 80 film formats).
Image size scaling is done
'automatically through the use of standard FR 80 software
and requires no special training or lens movement on the
part of the operator.
Exact image size is selected by
the operator, scaled by software (including character
size selection), and recorded on film.
Following are
two examples showing the steps in determining the proper
scaling.

Frame butting accuracy is a function of camera pulldown
accuracy.
Unperforated cameras operate with roller pulldown, which can produce a slight variation from frame-toframe.
Normally, this is adequate for data recording
purposes.
2.15
An optional, sprocketed, pin-registered camera provides
accurate frame butting. The camera specification calls
for a pulldown accuracy of ±O.0004". This is better
than the tolerances for positioning the sprocket holes
in the film!

The standard FR SO draws vectors through the use of a
vector generator rather than by point plotting.
Under
program control, vectors can be drawn between any two

2.17
Color recording is available on the FR SO as an option.
The option requires that a special color-recording CRT
be substituted for the standard black-and-white CRT.
(The color CRT can be used for normal black-and-white
recording, but a slight loss in resolution will be
evident.)
The color CRT phosphor has a spectral light
output that will expose al~ three layers of the color
film.
2.1S
Physically, the color unit has three color filters:
red, green, and blue.
Under program control, the proper
filter is inserted into the optical path. A standard
FR 80 subroutine controls filter movement.
Each selective filter allows exposure of only the corresponding
layer of the color film.
The following paragraphs indicate the number of hits (repeats of the same data)
required to produce different colors.

FR 80 Features
C H A R ACT E R S
c'
2.23
The FR 80 has extreme flexibility in hardware character
generation.
Rather than use a hard-wired character set,
which limits recording to a single fixed font, the FR 80
stores the character set in core.
Consecutive jobs can
use different character sets and even different fonts
without any alteration to the FR 80.
2.24
By using a very compact notation, the FR 80 standard
l28-character set requires approximately 800 words of
core.
The core required for each FR 80 program includes
space for the character set.
2.25
The standard character generator "cycle steals" the
compacted character representation from core, interprets
and records the character, and spaces in preparation for
the next character.
The high-speed character generator,
part of the optional high-speed page composition system,
incorporates the "bookkeeping" functions into the hardware.
That is, a "pointer" to the beginning of a print
line is handed to the character generator, and the entire
print line is recorded before interrupting the program.
The program can be doing other work while the print line
is being recorded.
C h a r act e r
2.26
s
The FR 80 has three standard fonts:
III, OCR-B, and
NMA Microfont, and an optional directory font (see
chap. 7 for character codes).
III has designed over
200 basic characters and symbols.
A reasonable number
of special characters can be incorporated into FR 80
programs for special applications, e.g., logic diagrams
from line printer output.
C h a r act e r
2.27
F 0 n t
S i
z e
The FR 80 character generator records 64 character sizes.
Table 2-2 shows the character height for each size.
Since the three standard fonts have an aspect ratio of
10 x 14, the normal character spacing is equal to the
character height.
In fact, when size is not specified,
the FR 80 software will automatically choose the proper
character size based on the character spacing.

to FR 80 applications software. Each of the simulators
has features often not available in the equipment being
simulated. The following paragraphs detail the features
available for each simulator. This is accomplished by
first showing a sample of the parameter list for an
actual program, followed by a brief description of each
feature.
It is not necessary for an "open shop" user

The FR 80 can simulate most line printers in common use.
The simulators are designed to accept virtually any print
format.
This is important since no modification of host
computer software is required. There are no artificial
limitations on the number of characters in a line, or the
number of lines in a page, or the number of pages in a

The FR 80 has a forms recording capability.
Instead of
using a manufactured forms slide and flashing it onto
film, the FR 80 stores forms in core for read-out and
recording as required by the film recording program.
Since the forms are recorded from the CRT, using the
same digitally controlled deflection system, precise
registration and scaling are assured.
This method
makes it possible to place a vertical line between two
adjacent characters without touching the characters or
losing print positions.
3.22
Multiple forms (up to six) can be randomly selected
under program control.
The number of forms available
at a given time is a function of the memory capacity
of the system and the type of program.
3.23
Because the forms are recorded using the character and
vector generator, the same intensity and resolution as
the data is assured.
However, intensities and line
widths of specific lines and/or characters can be varied
if desired.
3.24
Software for compiling forms is supplied with an 8K
FR 80.
This software language is easily learned.

At a reduction ratio of 42X, the system is capable of
generating 192 frames (computer printout page) on each
4" x 6" microfiche, with sufficient room for titling
across the top of the fiche. Pages are arranged in a
14 x 16 array using the top two rows of 32 pages as area
for titling. At a reduction of 48X, 392 frames and
titling (8-1/2" x 11" document) can be generated on
each microfiche.
4.13
The microfiche camera on the FR 80 is currently capable
of generating a pattern of sequential images in sequential columns. Selection of the specific format desired
is under computer control.

OUT PUT
4.16
COM film is exposed by the CRT drawing a line. Any area
not touched by light from the beam remains unexposed.
Normal film processing produces an image with black
lines on a clear background. This is called positive
microfilm. Standard microfilm produced by photographing
such items as typed pages or an engineering drawing
has clear lines with a black background and is called
negative microfilm.
4.17
Negative film is generally used for viewing and making
enlarged paper prints or offset masters.
Duplication
on Diazo film produces the same negative image. The
black background reduces problems of undesirable dust
and dirt marks.
4.lS
It is often desirable to make the COM output negative
microfilm.
This can be accomplished by reversal processing the film in a unit such as the Information
International Model 5010 Film Processor. The image will
then have clear lines on a black background.
4.19
A second method of obtaining negative appearing images
is to duplicate the normal COM output (positive) with
a vesicular film such as that made by Kalvar and Xidex.
The copy will be negative.
4.20
When a duplicate is needed and the image polarity is to
be the same as the original, reproducing should be made
by using Diazo film.
4.21
Many viewer-printers are available for making hardcopy
from microfilm.
For high-volume single copies from roll
film, a machine like the Xerox Copyflo is appropriate.'
4.22
FR 80 output film can be run on various platemakers to
produce paper or metal plates for various printing
presses.

APPLICATIONS
5.1
c
Many applications can be performed on the FR 80. For
purposes of explanation, they are divided into the
following general categories: business, scientific,
engineering, and publishing.
BUS I N E S S
A P P L I e A T ION S
Ret r i e v a l
5.2
Information retrieval has been the first large-scale
COM business application.
Mailing lists or account
files are recorded on 16mm roll film from which a
number 6f copies are made. Subsequent changes in address are verified against the recorded addresses so
that rejects can be noted in later data processing
cycles. Similarly, when a customer calls to question
his ledg,er account, the history is available to the
customer service representative.
In a bank, for example,
the current status of every account may be available
to every branch.
5.3
typical retrieval application is a batch-processed
fi17 th*t is updated dail~, weekly, or,on a c~cle billing
bas~s.
If an up-to-the-m~nute status is requ~red, online terminals are generally used. Thus, an airline
will use a mic~ofilm retrieval system for the semimonthly updated airline guide, while right beside it
is an on-line terminal for reservation status.
5.4
The advantages of COM are speed, compactness of data,
and lower reproduction costs. For example, an FR 80
with the high-speed page composition option can record
up to 15 times faster than a typical line printer. A
single 4" x 6" microfiche can have 192 pages of computer
printout at 42X reduction, plus a title block that can
be read at arm's length. The reproduction cost for a
microfiche is approximately 10 cents, and viewers are
now available for less than $100.

so that this data can be reduced to charts and graphs
for rapid interpretation.
But most companies still
rely on a staff of people armed with chart pads and a
photographic capability.
Unfortunately, it may take
several weeks before the computer data can be converted
into chart presentations for use by management.
For
those who believe a picture is worth a thousand words,
there is another way.
c
5.6
The FR 80 takes the raw data tape from the computer,
with weekly sales information, for instance, and records all of the detailed information on microfiche.
Using the same tape and running i t again, the FR 80
next constructs and records a complete set of charts
and graphs on roll film.
These charts are then run
off in 8-1/2" x 11" size on a hardcopy machine such
as a Xerox Copyflo.
The complete package, consisting
of hardcopy charts and a backup data on microfiche, is
available for management review only hours after the
computer has finished updating the files.
5.7
Stock charts are a notable example of a business appli~
cation where chart presentations are preferred to computer listings.
Wherever management decisions or evalu~
ations are made on the basis of data presentations,
business executives should be able to review that data
in an easy-to-read form that can be quickly produced,
instead of being limited to voluminous computer printouts and delayed handmade charts.
The FR 80 can also
record business charts in color for direct viewing
through 35mm slide projectors.

There are many scientific uses for the FR 80.
The
following are a few that have already been implemented.

The ability of the FR 80 to record as many as 64 levels
of gray makes it very useful in presenting data pictorially.

A cloud cover photograph of the earth is a good
example.
Gray-level data telemetered from a

Images enhanced by computer techniques such as
Fourier transformations can be re-recorded
directly on the FR 80 for evaluation.
P lot tin g
5.10
The FR 80's plotting capability, particularly with the
Model 8026 high-resolution camera, makes it possible to
record very complex plots in a single 3srnrn frame.
The
clarity of these FR 80 plots approaches that of the best
pen-and-ink plotters, at a small fraction of the time
and cost associated with the pen plotters.
5.11
Contour Maps.
The petroleum industry, public utilities,
highway departments, and geologically oriented organizations are typical of those who have use for contour maps.
Of definite economic value is the FR 80's ability to
produce, in less than a minute, the same maps that require an hour or more on a pen-and-ink plotter. Hardcopy 30X (or more) blowbacks of FR 80 plots approach
the quality of original pen-and-ink plots.
5 .. 12
Perhaps even more important are the host computer savings
resulting from the FR 80's ability to record the more
natural and compact raw vector and character data rather
than having to convert it to the incremental point plot
format.
Savings on data tape approach 80% to 90%,
while host computer time is cut by up to 40% to 50%.

The FR 80 can be operated with either l6rnrn or 3srnrn
sprocketed, pin-registered movie cameras.
5.14
The representation of natural phenomena, such as particle movement in a nuclear environment,
can be very graphic by recording and projecting it with
each movie frame representing a time interval.
5.15
Structural Analysis.
Computer animation has been very
effective in viewing perspectives for architectural
evaluation. Also, aircraft structural design has been
aided by making animated movies to view the effects of

By using the "19-element man" in
animated action, scientists have been able to evaluate
human factors during the design phase of aircraft cockpits, etc.
Also, simulations of various functions such
as aircraft engine changes, and pilot visibility during
landings, have prevented costly design errors.

Anyone *ho has seen the better
training films used by the military services can appreciate how the most complex principles can be effectively presented.
Calculus, statistics, physics, and
even the new math can benefit from this type of visual
presentation.

p lot s
For years, COM recorders have been used to plot engineering data.
In fact, this application was the rationale
for the development of COM at the beginning of the 19609.
For some companies, this is still the basic application.
The cost savings can be very large, particularly when
one considers the cost of a delay in the development of
a complex system such as an aircraft, ship, rocket or
space vehicle.
E n gin e e r i n g
5.21
D a t
D raw i
n g s
A sizeable percentage of the total cost of the development of a product is chargeable to documentation.
Entire floors of buildings are filled with draftsmen
producing and revising drawings.
It wasn't until
recently that the COM recording technology reached the
point where i t was feasible to COM-record engineering
line drawings on 35mm film, with sufficient quality to
eliminate the need for photographing an original fullsized drawing.
39
Applications
5.22
Standards groups are currently working on a COM engineeringdrawing specification that would provide an
alternative to the current MIL specifications. A few
companies are already producing line drawings in this
fashion, using the FR80.
5.23
Not all engineering drawings are line drawings.
In
some cases, a substantial percentage is strictly computer printout. One organization is using the FR 80
to record eight pages of computer printout with randomly
occurring forms on a single 35mm frame.
These frames
are mounted in aperture cards for use in the company's
aperture drawing system.
Previously, this would have
involved piecing together the eight pages and carefully
overlaying the appropriate forms in preparation for
photography by a planetary camera system.
Moreover,
the resulting frame would not have had the quality of
the FR 80 frame, which is recorded in only 3 or 4
seconds.
5.24
IBM side-chain printer tapes and tapes formatted for
pen-and-ink plotters, such as the CalComp 500, 600,
and 700 series, can be recorded directly on the FR 80.

5.25
Computers have been easily adapted to the design of
printed circuit boards.
The FR 80 can provide highquality film output for the engineer to verify the
accuracy of the design.
This is not limited to the
usual single-stroke appearance of the pen-and-ink plot;
the various line widths, pads, and filled-in areas can
be shown exactly the way the finished board would look.
In fact, the FR 80 is capable of producing 35mm film of
sufficient quality to be blown up for the' final film
master.
III has m~de some of its own printed circuit
boards in this manner.
I n t e g rat e d

Mas k s
Presently, integrated circuit masks are made on large,
flat-bed plotters.
By using an FR 80 coupled to a film
transport, to provide the necessary increase in resolution and accuracy, a marked reduction in turnaround time
and costs can be achieved.

The automation of PERT (CPM) network production by use
of the FR 80 will produce s~stantial savings in time
and cost over manual methods \ currently in use.
There
are several software systems available today, which,

FR 80 STANDARD DATA FORMAT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
9.1
The FR 80 standard data format is a binary language used
to communicate instructions to the FR 80 Microfilm
Recorder for production of general graphics output.
9.2
Considerations in the specification of this language are:
9.3
9.4
1.
Minimal ambiguity in description of attributes
2.
3.
Compactness
Flexibility
4.
Utilization of all FR 80 capabilities
5.
Well-defined recovery from errors
6.
Provision for high-speed searching for start of
job, frame advance, or checkpoint commands
The FR 80 has the following characteristics:
1.
16,384 x 16,384 addressable points
2.
8 selectable beam intensity levels
3.
4.
8 selectable beam spot sizes
64 selectable character sizes
5.
8 selectable character rotations
6.
Optional color selection
7.
8.
Font specification under program control
Incremental pulldown on unsprocketed roll cameras
Various cameras available have apertures which restrict
the useable area of the raster. The apertures are
centered on the addressable area. See table on page 8
for the number of addressable points provided by the
"different aperture sizes in the available cameras.
FR 80 Standard Data Format
9.5
Data may be recorded in comic mode or cine mode. In
comic mode, X coordinates refer to positions along the
film, and Y coordinates refer to positions across the
film. Frames follow each other in a succession from
left to right along the film. For example:
c
+y
TAB
C
D
E
O,O~+X
9.6
In cine mode, X coordinates refer to positions across
the film, and Y coordinates refer to positions along
the film; frames follow each other in a succession from
top to bottom down the film. For example:
""+X
+y~O,O
Q
TAPE FORMAT
9.7
The basic unit of information supplied to the FR SO is an
lS-bi t word whose bits are numbered 0-17 from le'ft to
right. On 7-track tape drives, this is three 6-bit character3 in odd parity mode.
5 6
17
o
11 12
Char. #1
Char. #2
Char. #3
9.S
Data from 9-track drives is in the following form:
the six low-order bits from each byte are used as
data, the high-order two bits are ignored.
9.9
Tape records may be blocked in any size to a maximum
of 512 IS-bit words.
9.10
Encountering a file mark on the tape will cause a
pause, with' the message "END OF FILE" typed to the
operator with accounting info~mation.

COMMAND FORMAT
9.11
Commands may be one-word, two-word, or variable length.
One-word commands specify movement on either the X or Y
axes. Two-word commands provide for movement in both
axes simultaneously. Variable length commands perform
other control functions and text display. To determine
which type of command is being examined, the high-order
bits are interpreted in the following way:
Bit
a -
ON means draw a vector to specified point.
Bit 1 - ON means coordinate is r~lative to current.
point.
OFF means coordinate is an absolute position.
Bit 2
ON means update position to specified point.
OFF means leave current position unchanged.
Bit 3 - ON means coordinate is a Y value.
OFF means coordinate is an X value.
9.12
If bit a and bit 2' are both off, this is the first word
of a variable length command. Otherwise it is a coordinate command.
COORDINATE COMMANDS
9.13
Bits 4-17 contain the coordinate value.
To determine if
this is a one-word or two-word command, the following
word is examined.
If bits 0, 1, and 2 are off and bit 3
is on, this word is the second word of a two-word command
and the 14 low-order bits represent the Y coordinate value.
9.14
To describe coordinate commands, we will refer to CX, the
current X coordinate; CY, the current Y coordinate; SX,
the X coordinate value specified by the command; and SY,
the Y coordinate value specified by the command.
9.15
For one-word commands, if bit 3 (the Y bit) is on, bits
4-17 contain SY, and SX is zero for relative commands
(bit 1 on), or SX=CX for absolute commands.
Simi~arly,
if bit 3 is off, bits 4-17 contain SX, and SY is zero
for relative commands, or SY=CY for absolute commands.
For two-word commands, SX is in bits 4-17 of word 1 and
SY is in bits 4-17 of word 2.
()
67
FR 80 Standard Data Format
9.16
Treating bits 0-2 as a 3-bit op code, the commands are:
°E Code
0
Meaning
Checkpoint delimiter or word two of a two-word
command.
Move to specified point (set CX to SX and Cy
to SY) .
1
Variable length command (see par. 9.17) .
Move relative (CX=CX+SX, CY=CY+SY)*.
2
3
4
Draw a vector from CX,CY to SX,SY (but leave
current point at CX,CY) .
5
Draw a vector from CX,CY to SX,SY and move to
SX,SY.
Draw a vector from CX,CY to CX+SX, CY+Sy*
(and don't move) .
Draw a vector from CX,CY to CX+SX, CY+Sy* and
move current point to CX+SX, CY+Sy*.
6
7
VARIABLE LENGTH COMMANDS - CHECKPOINT DELIMITERS
9.17
Variable length commands with bits 0-3 off are treated
as checkpoint delimiters which may be searched for, independent of context.
Checkpoint Delimiters
9.18
9.19
All checkpoint delimiters cause exit from TEXT MODE if
recording characters at regular speed~ Checkpoint delimiters will not cause an exit from "high speed" TEXT
MODE (see command 04) .

The character size and spacing specified will apply to
the current command only, and will not change the values
used by subsequent type mode commands. The X and Y
displacement values are added to CX and CY to specify
the position of the lower left corner of the envelope
for the first character of the following text. After
completion of this command, CX and CY are unchanged.
Subsequent words contain text as described under Text
Format (see par. 9.29) in Type Mode description (op
code 04).
When a new line code (2178) is encountered in the text,
the following two words contain data as words 3 and 4
above, again followed by text.
(If the new line code
is in Field 1, Field 2 will be ignored.)

ARC LENGTH
I
For the purpose of drawing arcs and circles, a circle
is divided into 240 1.5 0 sectors. The arc length is
specified by the number of sectors to be drawn clockwise from the starting angle. The starting angle is
specified by the number of sectors clockwise from vertical.
The center of the arc will be the current point.
an arc will not change the current point.

This command conditions the FR 80 to interpolate the
specified number of lines between the next two vectors
produced by commands with bit a on.
(Those commands may
be either one- or two-word type.) Both specified vectors will also be drawn. At the completion of the drawin·
of these vectors, the current point will be restored to
the position it was when the Draw Vector Family command
was encountered. If the number of interpolated lines is

A fiche title specification follows this command packed
in the half-word format (see command 04). The end of
message control character (2038) terminates the specification. Details of the fiche title specification are
described on page 46. This command causes the title

printed.
a means current position remains unchanged.
NOTES:
If bit 12 is set to 1, the justify elements will not be
initialized before printing. This means that a si~gle
Justify command (code 338) may be used for mUltiple piece
lines.
With graphic arts characters, the position after print
will be the integer portion of the DACs (full scope point
values); the fractional portion is lost.
