Defining Character (9 Needle Printer) Each downloaded character is defined in a matrix field of 9 rows high and 12 columns wide. It is only possible to use column 1 up to column 11. Column 12 is the space between one character and the next. Therefore it is always left blank by automatically setting dots in column 12 to zero. Also, only 8 of 9 dots [...]

Example (9 needle printer): The following example illustrates the definition of a character, the copyright symbol (a small “ c ” in a circle), instead of the character “ @ ” . The evaluation of the bytes in each column is as follows: R O W S 123456789 1 0 1 1 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 COLUMNS 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 = 32 =16 = 8 = 56 = 64 = 4 = 68 =128 [...]

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 [...]

Proportional width during scaleable font mode The values of the character widths are depending on the selected point size at your printer. The width of the scaleable fonts are based on the width of a proportional 10.5 point character. Calculate the width as follows: (character width) = INT    ( point size ) x ( base width ) 10.5 + 0.5  [...]

Introduction This User’s Manual describes all barcode and LCP sequences and control codes, regard- less of your printer’s special barcode and LCP implementation (LCP = Large Character Printing). Be sure to observe the notes in the operator’s manual regarding the special barcode/LCP Types implemented in your printer and which of the sequences [...]

This may cause conflict with other emulations, since the above commands may have dif- ferent functions in these emulations, for example: SI Condensed print DC4 Reset expanded print ESC P <n> Proportional spacing ON/O FF ESC P Pica In barcode mode the barcode sequences have priority. The barcode interpreter can be switched on or off with the M[...]

All values are only valid when a new colour ribbon is used. They change depending on the degree of wear: narrow bar: approx. -0.05 mm narrow space: approx. +0.05 mm. The Code EAN 128 , as the EAN/UPC , is based on module widths. Therefore only the X parameter is valid for this type. This parameter is also used for the Y parameter (narrow bar width)[...]
