Appendix B

Available Fonts and Barcodes

All character fonts and bar codes available with the Printer are described in this section. Each font and barcode have a name associated with it for use in programming. Human-readable fonts have numeric names while bar code fonts have alpha names. Uppercase alpha names will print bar codes with human-readable interpretations, while lowercase alpha names will print bar codes only.

Fonts 0 through 8 use the slash zero (Ø) conventions for distinguishing between the zero and the letter O. The slash can be removed with the label formatting command Z. These fonts are non-proportional (monospaced) fonts, all of the characters take up the same amount of space when printed. This is helpful when using variable data in a fixed area. The sizes of these fonts are shown in Table B-1.

The Triumvirate font number 9 is a proportional font, each character will take up a different amount of space when printed. For example, the letter W will be larger than the letter I.
