TEXT — Text

Prints text at the given position with a font name, rotation and magnification parameters.

Engine status: Partially rendered

The command is drawn but some of its parameters are ignored; the detail is in the note below.

Syntax

SIZE 100 mm, 150 mm
GAP 3 mm, 0 mm
CLS

PRINT 1

Output of the example above in our renderer (203 dpi). Not verified on a physical printer.

Parameter	Meaning
`x, y`	Start of the text in dots, relative to the REFERENCE origin
`"font"`	Font name in double quotes; 0–8 are built in, other names are approximated by their number
`rot`	Rotation in degrees clockwise: 0, 90, 180 or 270
`xm`	Horizontal magnification 1–10; the preview stretches the text by it
`ym`	Vertical magnification 1–10; the font height is multiplied by it
`"content"`	The text in double quotes

Using EPL rotation codes: TSPL rotation is in degrees, so a rotation of 1 is invalid — the validator flags it and the preview draws the text at 0°.
