Appendix C

Available Fonts – Sizes, References, and Samples
All character bit-mapped fonts available on the printers are described in this section. Each font has a name
(Font ID) associated with it for use in programming. Use the Font Number (in the left column of Table C-
1) in field b of the Format Record header to cause the printer to use the corresponding font.
Fonts 0 through 8 use the slash zero (Ø) conventions for distinguishing between the zero and the
alphabetic O. The slash can be removed with the label formatting command z. These fonts are non-
proportional (monospaced). Therefore, all of the characters take up the same amount of space when
printed. This is helpful when using variable data in a fixed area. The sizes of these fonts are shown on the
following pages.
The CG Triumvirate font number 9 is a proportional font. Each character will take up a different amount
of space when printed. For example, the letter W will be wider than the letter I.
