Available Fonts – Sizes and References
All character bitmapped fonts available on the printers are described in this section.
Each font has a name (Font ID) associated with it for use in programming. Use the
Font Number in field b of the Format Record header to cause the printer to use the
corresponding font.
Font Numbers
Fonts 0 through 8 use the slash zero (Ø) conventions for distinguishing between the
zero and the alphabetic O. The slash can be removed with the label formatting
command z. These fonts are non-proportional (monospaced). Therefore, all of the
characters take up the same amount of space when printed. This is helpful when
using variable data in a fixed area. The sizes of these fonts are shown on the following
pages.
The CG Triumvirate font number 9 is a proportional font. Each character will take up a
different amount of space when printed. For example, the letter W will be wider than
the letter I.
