  • Page 92: Some Basic Facts About Fonts

    Some Basic Facts about Fonts This section summarizes some of the basic facts you should know about fonts. What Is a Font? A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a font.

  • Page 93: Typeface

    Typeface Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure shows an example of some typefaces. Stroke Weight Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold stroke weights. The printer function has medium and bold fonts available. The figure below shows an example of medium and bold printing.

  • Page 94: Point Size

    Point Size Point size refers to the height of the character. Character size is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm). The printer function has bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The bitmapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size.

  • Page 95: Character Width (Fixed And Ps)

    Character Width (Fixed and PS) Each character has a different width from all the other characters in a font at a given point size. For example, "W" is a wider letter than "I." There are two ways to print letters of different widths: you can print all letters with the same spacing, regardless of their actual width;...

  • Page 96: Symbol Set

    Symbol Set When you print the letter "A," the host computer sends a code corresponding to "A" (hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern corresponding to the received code.

  • Page 97: Scalable Fonts

    Bitmapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by characteristics called "attributes," such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on. Various types of bitmapped fonts are produced by the combination of these attributes. Scalable Fonts With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.

  • Page 98: Standard Scalable Fonts (Pcl)

    Standard Scalable Fonts (PCL) With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. (The maximum range of scaling depends on the size of the memory installed in the machine and the size of the paper used.) The following scalable typefaces are included with the machine.
