FONT PITCH SELECTION
Font pitch can be specified for both the primary and secondary
character fonts by using the following escape sequences:
Font pitch, primary font
Ec(s#H
Font pitch, secondary font
Ec)s#H
# = Print pitch
The value field (#) in this escape sequence specifies the pitch size
in characters per inch and
is valid to two decimal places. The
label
on each font cartridge lists the font pitch. For example, if
you load a font cartridge containing a 10 character-per-inch font,
you would send
the Ec(s10H sequence to select the pitch (10 cpi)
of the primary font. NOTE: In order to print in the specified
pitch, a font cartridge must
be loaded which contains a font with
the specified print pitch.
The font pitch is ignored by the printer if proportional spacing is
activated and available in the requested symbol set. If a print
pitch
is specified that does not exist, the next greater pitch will be
designated.
If no greater value exists, the printer will use the next
lesser value. NOTE:
16.66 pitch is greater than 12 pitch and less
than 18 pitch. The pitch of the resident default font is 10
characters per inch.
