OUTPUT (4-18)
NOTES Characters may be enlarged through the use of the Character Expansion command
and character spacing may be altered through the use of the Character Pitch
command. The default is 2 dots between characters. Custom characters or fonts may
also be created - refer to Custom-Designed Characters (<ESC>T) command.
It is recommended to use a spacing of 5 dots for OCR-A and 1 dot for OCR-B. 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 specifications when printed on different
resolution printers.
The proportionally spaced fonts XU, XS, XM, XL and XA can be printed with fixed
spacing using the Proportional Space (<ESC>PS) command.
Refer to Appendix: Reference Tables 11 through 19 for additional information.
