USING  THE CHARACTER SLANT ( SL ) COMMAND

     
     The Character Slant command ( SL ) specifies the slant
     at which labels are drawn.  For more information see
     the Updated PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference
     Manual. The syntax for the command is as follows:
     
     SL tangent of angle; or SL;
     
     LEGEND: Ec = [Ctrl] [P] [Esc] in DOS EDIT.
     
     
     EcE                           Resets the printer.

                                   there is no physical pen,
                                   the SP command must be
                                   used to enable printing.

                                   character, and the 1
                                   designates it as non-

                                   changes the slant angle
                                   to -20 degrees from
                                   upright and prints
                                   "Slant".
