2.5 BUILT-IN CHARACTER FONTS
The MSP/MPP printer has three built-in user select fonts. Below is the list of commands to
select these fonts.
FONT TYPE FONT DESCRIPTION COMMAND STRING
Standard ASCII and International character set ESC+F+1
IBM PC ASCII and IBM PC character set ESC+F+2
Hebrew ASCII and IBM PC character set ESC+F+3
The characters are formed using a 5x7 matrix. The first 127 entries in the font tables are ASCII
characters. Characters 0 through 31 are reserved ASCII printer control characters, while 32
through to 127, are the 96 ASCII Alpha numeric upper and lower case characters.
The alternate characters for each font type are from 128 to 255.
The printer defaults to Standard font on initial power-up or upon receiving the CANCEL
character (^X,18H,24).
