bitmapped fonts and therefore cannot be scaled larger or smaller than the bitmapped
images. These fonts can be called by either a PCL Font Selection String or by their ID.

MICR FONT NOTE – The E-13B and CMC7 Fonts are 8 characters per inch. To position
correctly at an exact 8 characters per inch, the printer must be set to an internal Unit of
Measure of 600 DPI or greater or must have a horizontal motion index command at 8
CPI be issued after the font call. This is true even if the base printer is set at 600 DPI.
The default character positioning is at 300 DPI, and 300 divided by 8 equals 37.5 pixels.
The printer will either round down to 37 or up to 38 pixels causing characters to creep.
There are multiple ways to resolve this:
1. If you are using a printer driver 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 an HMI (Horizontal Motion Index)
command set to 8 characters per inch.
<ESC>&k15H
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
