Does anyone know more about these parameters?

Maybe the syntax is the same as in "TEXTOUT" in order to have the same parsing of the command, but then disregarding parameters 3 and 5. I just gave the 3rd parameter which under my assumption would be "textColor", an excessive high value, e.g.999999999. Then it returns "Error:Invalid input" Conclusion (perhaps) it uses the same syntax as TEXTOUT, but disregards parameter 3(textColor) and parameter 5(backgroundColor). Thus it's easy for the system to evaluate parameter 4(width). Great find, by the way.

When using hex numbers it seems to be more obvious(assuming still). You first have to set integers to a length > 32. e.g. 64 in the setup screen. Now entering a value of #FFFFFFh for textColor works as there are four channels, while #1FFFFFFFFh gives the error, no fifth channel there.

Perhaps it works this way
