The vertical point size is the real common ground. So to get a 12 point size, a fixed width font will use a

font width of 144; 10 cpi. A typographic font will use a font width of 80. To keep compatible sizes this is

also translated from 10 cpi. The FGID defines which range to use. For further details, refer to the LFE

and/or AR command sections of the IPDS architecture spec.

IPDS Bar Code Printing

To support the BCOCA tower for printing of bar codes, the OCR-A and OCR-B fonts and their

corresponding code pages (892 and 893) must be resident in the printer. These are supported as

Code page 1303 is also resident to be used for printing code 128 bar codes.

The Printer will accept the IPDS Load Font Equivalence command and support the bold and double strike

bits for both resident Type 1 and loaded raster fonts. No other bits within the LFE flags byte are

The bold/double strike attributes are handled the same way within the printer. The function is provided
