Standard Print
The three resident fonts in the printer are Draft, Large Draft, and Near Letter Quality (NLQ). The cell size for each
is different. In addition, the Small and Large Draft fonts can be printed in Double, Single and Half wide versions.
All width variations are based on a single width, and use mathematical algorithms to convert them to different
widths. The following discussion is based on the basic, single width character.

Draft Font
The draft font is defined in the 12 x 12 cell to use 6 full-columns and 5 half-columns horizontally. In general, most
characters are only nine dots wide; however, to provide readable international characters, the minimum cell size is
kept at 12. The minimum cell size provides at least 1 half-column between any character.
The vertical format never uses the top dot, and the bottom 2 dots are used for character decenders and underline.
The draft font provides the most print per line and the most efficient use of ink per character.

Large Draft Font
The large draft font is defined in the 12 x 14 cell to use 7 full, and 6 half-columns horizontally, which provides at
least 1 half-column between any character.
The vertical format uses the first 10 rows for the characters and the bottom 2 for character decenders and underline.
The large draft font is larger than the draft font and is more readable. It, however, provides fewer characters per line
and uses more ink per character.
