	The JIC-style image font style displays the cross-referencing using the JIC style normally open, normally close, and Form C contact types.
	The IEC-style image font style displays the cross-referencing using the IEC style normally open, normally close, and Form C contact types.

Display Unused Children (Contacts)	Displays the child symbols that are not referenced or being used in the project pin list.
Separate Reference	Displays each unused child symbol in its own reference. It is dependent on pin list count.
Contact Count Totals	Displays the total count of all unused child symbols in a single reference.
Fill Reference With	Specifies what to display in the unused reference position for both Separate and Contact Count options. If left empty, a space appears where the referencing would be displayed. For example if you enter the text "SP" for spares, "SP" displays in the referencing.
