Fonts and Graphics
- Fonts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and GS are expandable up to 10 times, height and width independently. However, fonts E and H (OCR-A and OCR-B) are not considered ―in-spec” when expanded.
- The scalable smooth font 0 (CG Triumvirate™ Bold Condensed) is expandable on a dot-by-dot basis, height and width independent, while maintaining smooth edges. Maximum character size depends on available memory.
- IBM Code Page 850 international character sets are available in the fonts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and 0 through software control.
