1. If you are using a printer driver that is set to 600 DPI, the printer data stream should

include a Unit of Measure PCL command set to 600. The command is

<ESC>&u600D

2. If the application controls the printer data stream, add the Unit of Measure command

early in the data stream. The command also affects X & Y positioning commands.

Add <ESC>&u600D

3. After calling the E-13B MICR font, issue a HMI (Horizontal Motion Index) command

set to 8 characters per inch. The command must be included with every E-13B

MICR font call using either the Selection String or ID call. The command string is:

<ESC>(10O<ESC>(s0p8h8v0s7b360T<ESC>&k15H font data The Selection String

<ESC>(30802X<ESC>&k15H font data The ID Call

See Font Mapping Appendix pages for specific character set data for each font.
