T7. gap Number of dots between characters 203 dpi (or 300 dpi). Range: 0 to 99.
Note: For monospaced fonts, the additional spacing is added to the existing inter-character gap.
This is also true for proportionally spaced fonts, but remember that the inter-character gap
varies with character combinations.
Any number other than 0 or the default number affects your field width. Default spacing:
Standard 3 dots
Reduced 1 dot
Bold 3 dots
OCRA-like 3 dots
HR1 3 dots
HR2 2 dots
CG Triumvirateä
Typeface Bold varies with each letter
CG Triumvirateä Typeface varies with each letter
EFF Swiss Bold varies with each letter
HR1 and HR2 are only used with the UPC bar code family and must be numeric.
T8. font Style of font. Options:
1 Standard 10 CG Triumvirateä Typeface Bold
2 Reduced 11 CG Triumvirateä Typeface
3 Bold 15 7 pt. CG Triumvirateä Typeface
4 OCRA-like 16 9 pt. CG Triumvirateä Typeface
5 HR1 17 11 pt. CG Triumvirateä Typeface
6 HR2 18 15 pt. CG Triumvirateä Typeface
50 EFF Swiss Bold (scalable)
Or a valid downloaded font selector number.
Fonts 5 and 6 are only for numeric data.
Fonts 15 - 18 are only for 300 dpi and do not support Code pages 0, 1, 437, and 850.
The CG Triumvirateä typefaces support only the ANSI and DOS Code Page 437 and 850 Symbol
Sets. See Appendix C, "Symbol Sets/Code Pages" for more information.
T9. hgt mag Height magnifier, 1 to 7 times (4 to 255 points for the scalable font - font 50 or downloaded
TrueType fonts). Use a magnifier of 1 with proportionally spaced fonts, because characters lose
smoothness at higher magnifications. See Appendix B, “Fonts,” for more information about fonts.
T10. wid mag Width magnifier, 1 to 7 times (4 to 255 points for the scalable font - font 50 or downloaded TrueType
fonts). Proportionally spaced fonts do not have a set width. To estimate the size of your field, use
the letter “W” for the widest field or an “L” for an average width field. Find your selected font and
the desired width in Appendix B, “Fonts.”
Note: To use large point sizes (greater than 60 point), you must reconfigure memory and
increase the size of the scalable (vector) fonts buffer.
T11. color There are two types of field color overlay attributes:
Transparent The overlay field (text or constant text) does not block out
(or “erase”) existing fields.
Opaque The overlay field blocks out (or “erases”) existing fields.
