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.
