Font/Quality Speed
Code V is capable of printing most of the Code V fonts at three different
speeds and qualities. The slowest print speed produc es the highest quality
fonts, while the fastest print speed produces the lowest quali ty fonts. A Font
Quality/Speed Command may be sent either inside or outside of a pass and
remains in effect until another Font Quality/Speed Command is issued or
Graphics Mode is exited.
These commands only affect the Code V Draft Font at 12, 13.3, 15, and 17.1
CPI and the Code V NLQ Font at 10, 12, 13.3, and 17.1 CPI.
The three Code V Font Quality/Speed commands are: High-Quality Font, Full-
Space Font, and Half-Space Font.

High Quality Font Mode

Selects slow-speed, high quality fonts. The DPI of the font selec ted by a Code
V Font Command depends upon the selected font and may ca use the paper
to back up and the shuttle to change speed. Fonts printed in this mode are
positioned on character cell boundaries.
Command ^~FQ

Full Space Font Mode

Selects 120 DPI, medium speed, medium quality fonts. The paper will not
back up to print any Code V font (excluding OCR) when ^~FF is selec ted.
This is the default.
Command ^~FF
