NOTES
Characters may be enlarged through the use of the Character Expansion command and character
spacing may be altered through the use of the Character Pitch command. The default is 2 dots
between characters. Custom characters or fonts may also be created - refer to Custom-Designed
Characters (<ESC>T) command.
It is recommended to use a spacing of 5 dots for OCR-A and 1 dot for OCR-B. The matrices for the OA
and OB fonts are scaled so that they will remain a constant size according to the OCR-A and OCR-B
specifications when printed on different resolution printers.
The proportionally spaced fonts XU, XS, XM, XL and XB can be printed with fixed spacing using the
(<ESC>PR) command.
Refer to Appendix: Reference Tables 1 through 7 for additional information.
