3.1.9 Wide 24X24 and 20X20 character sets
eXtendo
®
printers can contain a "wide character set" (so called because two bytes are required to
index it). Two different wide character sets types are supported: 24x24 and 20x20. The 24x24 wide
character set may contain up to 7280 characters, each 24 x 24 dots. The 20x20 wide character set
may contain up to 8640 characters, each 20 x 20 dots
The 24X24 wide character set has been implemented to offer a GB2312-Chinese compatible Chinese
character set, but can be used for other 24X24 character sets, as well. Currently there are two ways of
indexing the 24X24 wide character set: standard (linear) .and GB2312-Chinese.
The 20X20 wide character set has been implemented to offer a KS5601-Korean compatible Korean
character set, but can be used for other 20X20 character sets, as well. Currently there are two ways of
indexing the 20X20 wide character set: standard (linear) .and KS5601-Korean
See the command “Wide Font Printing” for more information on wide font indexing.
24X24 wide character set
containing 16 * 455 characters
By default, there is no wide character set provided in the eXtendo
®
. The eXtendo
®
driver tools allow the upload
of a wide character set , where the character set is imported from a standard windows bitmap.
For the 24X24 type wide characters, this bitmap contains exactly 16 x 455 characters that are separated by a
line (yellow in the above sample). Each character is 24 x 24 dots, whereas, due to the separator, the X/Y origin
starts on a multiple of 25 dots. The total dimension of the wide character set bitmap is 400 pixels horizontally and
11375 pixels vertically.
For the 20X20 type wide characters, this bitmap contains exactly 16 x 540 characters that are separated by a
line (yellow in the above sample). Each character is 20 x 20 dots, whereas, due to the separator, the X/Y origin
starts on a multiple of 25 dots. The total dimension of the wide character set bitmap is 336 pixels horizontally and
11340 pixels vertically.
All magnification and other settings that affect the appearance of the internal character set will also affect the
appearance of the wide character set (e.g. double width, magnification, rotation, etc.).
