The height can vary, smaller if the ink jet is close to the wire. Larger if it’s further away.
The character width along the length of the wire will change only by the Bold factor, not distance from
head.
Examples of printing on 2.2mm diameter wire. From the top, Large font, Medium font, Medium chimney
font, Medium font with small date and time.
Font boldness
The way the printer forms a character is that when an encoder pulse comes in one line of the character is
printed. The encoder pulses come from the wire feed encoder. In a medium normal font with the
boldness set to 1, 5 lines are printed to form the character. If the boldness is set for 2 then the each of
the 5 lines is printed twice, consuming 10 encoder pulses. If the boldness is set to 3 then each of the 5
lines is printed 2 times, consuming 15 encoder pulses. The visual effect of boldness is the portions of the
