Special Notes

1.

Characters may be enlarged through the use of the Character

 

 

Expansion command.

 

 

2.

Character spacing may be altered through the use of the

 

 

Character Pitch command. The default is 2 dots between

 

 

characters. It is recommended 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.

The proportionally spaced fonts XU, XS, XM, XL and XA can be

 

 

printed with fixed spacing using the <ESC>PS Proportional Space

 

 

command.

 

 

6.

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.
