Introduction

 

 

Standard Fonts

The scalable smooth font (CG Triumvirate™ Bold Condensed) is expandable on a dot-by-dot basis, height- and width-independent, while maintaining smooth edges. Maximum size depends on available memory.

Fonts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and GS are expandable up to 10 times, height- and width-independent; however, fonts E and H (OCR-A and OCR-B) are not considered in-spec when expanded.

IBM Code Page 850 international character sets are available in fonts A , B, C, D, E, F, G, and Ø through software control.

Note: See the Options Section for the availability of additional fonts.
