Expanded font
Font can be expanded by a factor of 1 to 36.
Internal bitmap fonts can also be expanded with a factor of 1 to 36.
Example: A font in a size of 5 dots of width and 9 dots of height is expanded by a factor of 3. The
resulting font has a width of 15 dots and a height of 27 dots.
The input of enlargement ratio (height x enlargement ratio, width x enlargement ratio) for characters
to be printed is done as described below:
Width x expansion factor= width parameter setting value
Height x expansion factor= height parameter setting value
The command <L> decides the expansion of the character. This parameter is set as factor.
Example: If setting the factor to: <L>0304, the character is expanded by a factor of 3 in horizontal
direction (width) and a factor of 4 in vertical direction (height).
If an expansion factor is specified, also the pitch between the characters is automatically
determined.

Fixed pitch / proportional pitch
There are fonts which can select both the fixed pitch and the proportional pitch. You can set the
proportional pitch by <PS> command and release it by <PR> command on the printer screen.
Depending on the font type, the width of the proportional pitch does differ. Kata-kana is not affected
by the proportional pitch, but the side space of characters will be narrowed.
At the fixed pitch, the character width is according to the relevant font size selected.

Difference between outline font and bitmap font
Regarding the bitmap font, the height and the width of the font are predefined. The height of the
bitmap font is a little bit larger than the width.
The bitmap font is the largest in the font matrix.
For the font type and size refer to the font list previously described.
Regarding the outline font, if the height and the width of the font are set properly, the smooth scaling
algorithm of the printer allows a well-balanced font. It is also possible to define some style options
like a gray scale and a shadow setting.

Setting change of Eurocode
See below for the valid range of font command and Eurocode and Code Page that is enabled when
you change the Eurocode settings in GUI or DC2 commands.
The values for ESC, ENQ, SOH, STX, ETX, CAN, DEL, DC1, DC2 in standard mode and ESC,
ENQ, SOH, STX, ETX, CAN, DEL, DC1, DC2 in non-standard mode is out of valid range.
Command
<XU> XU font (Basic size 5×9 dots)
<XS> XS font (Basic size 17×17 dots)
<XM> XM font (Basic size 24×24 dots)
<XB> XB font (Basic size 48×48 dots)
<XL> XL font (Basic size 48×48 dots)
Command name The range of Eurocode
