Fonts and Graphics
- Fonts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and GS are expandable up to 10
times, height and width independently. However, fonts E and H
(OCR-A and OCR-B) are not considered ?in-spec" when
expanded.
- The scalable smooth font 0 (CG Triumvirate Bold Condensed) is
expandable on a dot-by-dot basis, height and width independent,
while maintaining smooth edges. Maximum character size depends on
available memory.
- IBM Code Page 850 international character sets are available in
the fonts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and 0 through software
control.
