Printer Output
Special Notes 1. Characters may be enlarged through the use of the Character Expan-
sion command.
2. Character spacing may be altered through the use of the Character
Pitch command. The default is 2 dots between characters. It is recom-
mended to use a spacing of 5 dots for OCR-A and 1 dot for OCR-B.
3. You may also create custom characters or fonts. See the <ESC>T
Custom-Designed Characters command.
4. A font must be defined for each field to be printed. There is no default
font.
5. Fonts U, S, M, OA and OB are identical to fonts U, S, M, OA and OB
on the SATO M-8400 printer. (Note: These fonts, except the OA and
OB fonts which are fixed in size, will be 33% smaller on a 300 dpi
printer and 67% smaller on a 600 dpi printer)
6. The proportionally spaced fonts XU, XS, XM, XL and XA can be
printed with fixed spacing using the <ESC>PS Proportional Space
command.
7. The matrices for the OA and OB fonts are scaled so that they will
remain a constant size according to the OCR-A and OCR-B specifica-
tions when printed on different resolution printers.
