Table of Character Width for Proportional Printing
On the following pages you will find tables of character widths for proportional printing.
The characters are represented by the printout, the decimal and the hexadecimal value.
Characters without decimal and hexadecimal codes are international characters or
graphics. Please note the International Substitution Characters on pages B-3 and B-4
and the International Code Tables on page B-8 and B-9. The international characters
can be selected via the sequences ESC R and ESC t (see Description of Sequences).
Please note the following for the different types of printers:
The values of the character widths are units of 1⁄120 inch.
For example: The value in the field for character width is 12, that means, the
width of the character is 12⁄120 inch.
If the field consists of two values separated by a slash (for example 12/5) the
first value stands for the italic character, the second for graphics.
The values of the character widths are units of 1⁄360 inch.
For example: The value in the field for character width is 30, that means, the
width of the character is 30⁄360 inch.
If the field consists of two values separated by a slash (for example 30/20) the
first value stands for the normal character, the second for the character width
with super- or subscript activated.
The values of the character widths are depending on your selected point size if
using scaleable fonts. In normal print mode values described in -table are
also valid in -mode.
