Font Enlargement
Internal font can be enlarged up to 36.
For instance, if the standard font of W5(dots) x H9(dots) multiplied by 3 = W15(dots) x H27(dots).
Parameter writing method of printed character is as follows.
Width x Enlargement rate = Width parameter setting value
Height x Enlargement rate = Height parameter setting value
Enlargement specification <L> controls font size so that the parameter can be specified in ratio.
If specifying <L> 0304, the font size will be enlarged 3 times the width and 4 times the height from its standard size.
In this case, character pitch will be automatically widened.
Fixed Pitch and Proportional Pitch
Print of Fixed Pitch and Proportional Pitch are available for XU ~ XL fonts, Outline font, and CG font.
To select Proportional Pitch, specify Proportional Pitch <PS>
or Release of Proportional Pitch <PR>, or go to the
USER Mode of printer LCD.
Proportional pitch may vary depending on the font type.
Fixed pitch will be adjusted to the width of characters based on the individual font size.
Difference between Outline Font and Bitmap Font
For Bitmap font, its height and width are already fixed and featured in the printer. The actual height of bitmap font is
slightly larger than its width.
Bitmap font is the largest size of font matrix.
For the type and size of font, see the list above.
Outline font, when the height and width are set correctly, can create a font mostly well-balanced, which is done by
means of a function of smooth-scaling algorithm in the printer. Different font styles, such as outline characters,
character decoration, and shaded italic, can also be selected.
