FONT SIZE SUPPLEMENT
This section describes the different font sizes available on the Boca Printers and any restrictions pertaining to
each. See the following pages for actual-size samples of most of the available font sizes. The samples are
usually shown with character 33 (!) first, thru character 126. If a character can't be printed in a certain font size it
will appear as a blank character. All font sizes are available in rotated and non-rotated modes unless indicated.
Definitions: Normal ASCII character set - characters (33-126).
Extended character set - characters (33-255).
German character set - 8 common German characters
(64,91-93,123-126).
British Pound sign - character (96).
OCRA special characters - these are special
characters recognized by OCRA scanners (95,96,126).
FONT1 - (5x7) (7x8) - This is a self-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters. It also includes
the German character set and the British Pound sign. It is not recommended for use.
FONT2 - (8x16) (10x18) - This is a self-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters. It also
includes the German character set and the British Pound sign.
FONT3 - (17x31) (20x33) - This is an OCRB-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters. It also
includes the German character set and the British Pound sign.
FONT4 - (5x9) (7x11) - This is an OCRA-styled font containing most of the extended non-rotated character set
(no extended graphics characters). It does not include lower-case letters in either rotation or the OCRA special
character set. It is not recommended for use on 200 dpi printers.
FONT5 - (5x11) (7x12) - This is a self-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters in non-rotated
mode only. This font is generally used by special customers and is not recommended for general use.
FONT6 - (30x52) (34x56) - This is an OCRB-styled font containing most of the normal ASCII characters. This
font also contains BOCA's condensed German and British character sets.
FONT7 - (15x29) (20x31) - This is a full OCRA font when printed on a 200 dpi printer.
FONT8 - (20x40) (20x33) - This font has been changed. It is now the same as font13 except for a smaller
boxsize. This is the default font size for the 8.5" wide printers to allow them to easily interface to most word
processing programs.
FONT9 - (13x20) (13x22) - It is a 13x20 OCRB style font (includes our condensed German character set and
the British Pound sign) sitting in a 13x22 box. (NOTE: Whereas most fonts are drawn the exact width of the
character, font 9 is drawn with spaces on one or both sides of the character to optimize character to character
spacing. This results in the box width being equal to the character width.)
FONT 10 - (25x41) (28x41) - This is a bold Prestige font containing the condensed German and British
character sets.
FONT 11 - (25x49) (26x49) - This is a Script font.
FONT 12 - (46x91) (47x91) - Orator font for tall, bold lettering.
FONT 13 - (20x40) (20x42) - Courier styled international character set (223 characters).
