NLQ Fonts
The NLQ fonts use 0.10 inch high Gothic characters wheneve r high quality
print or high density is desired. NLQ fonts are limited to Hor izontal Orientation
only, and the NLQ Font command must be contained within a Graphics Pass.
If the NLQ Font command is outside of a Graphics pass, it is interpreted as a
Horizontal Repeat command (see Repeating Text later in this manual). The
NLQ font is in effect only until the next command is received.
Any horizontal tabs and justification functions (see “Pos itioning and
Repeating” on page 83) used with NLQ characters should be used pri or to the
^Sn command. If a Tab or Justification Command is encountered within the
NLQ characters, the selected NLQ Graphics font is terminated and a Bl ock
Character font is substituted for the remaining printable data.
To select one of the NLQ Graphics fonts, send the following command.
