CX208/212 Programming Guide

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.
