[magnify]

Specify text size/magnification. Allow text to be scaled up in width and/or height. After use, all subsequent text will be scaled by the specified width and height multipliers until the magnification is changed.

Shorthand

The [magnify] command may be shortened to [mag] as preferred.

Parameters

All parameters are optional, if the [magnify] command is used without any parameters, then the width and height scaling factors will both be reverted to the default value of 1.

Parameter	Description
width/w	Optional parameter, specified the horizontal (width) scaling factor, where 1 is standard width, 2 is double width etc.
height/h	Optional parameter, specified the vertical (height) scaling factor, where 1 is standard height, 2 is double height etc.

Size Constraints

The minimum scaling factor is 1 (for both width and height), while the maximum will vary depending on the target device. In case a factor is specified that is larger than the target device can support, then the markup rendered will simply use the largest supported size. Star printers typically support a maximum scaling factor of 6 for thermal printers, and 2 for dot-matrix.

Word Wrapping

Be aware, that all markup commands are treated as a word delimiter by the word wrapping engine. Therefore changing text magnification mid-word will result in the text being treated as separate words.

Example

• Markup
• Output at 58mm
• Markup 80mm

This is a simple markup example, demonstrating text magnification.

Magnify Example

[magnify: width 4; height 4]Quad Size Text
[mag: w 3; h 3]Triple Size Text
[mag: w 2; h 2]Double Size Text
[mag: w 2; h 1]Double Wide
[mag: w 1; h 2]Double Height
[mag: w 3; h 2]Mixed [mag: w 1; h 3]Size
[mag]Standard Size
