Specifications

Standard Printer Fonts
Fonts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and GS are expandable up to 10 times, height- and
width-independent. However, fonts E and H (OCR-A and OCR-B) are not
considered “in-spec” when expanded.
The scalable smooth font Ø (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 the available memory.
IBM Code Page 850 international character sets are available in fonts A, B, C,
D, E, F, G, and Ø through software control.
