Specifications

The format for the ^A@ instruction is:
^A@o,h,w,n
Where
^A@ = Use Font Name to Call Font
(Where @ triggers the search for font name listed by
parameter n)
o = Font Orientation
Default value: Last ^FW value or N if none.
Other values:
N = Normal
R = Rotated, 90 degrees clockwise;
I = Inverted, 180 degrees
B = Read from Bottom up, 270 degrees
h = Character Height in Dots
Default value: Magnification specified by Width, if
any or uses last ^CF value, or base height if none.
Scalable: Value is height in dots of the entire charac-
ter block. Magnification factors are unnecessary, since
characters are scaled.
Bitmapped: Value is rounded to nearest integer
multiple of the font’s base height, then divided by the
font’s base height, to give a magnification nearest
limit.
w = Character Width in Dots
Default value: Magnification specified by Height, if any
or uses last ^CF value, or base width if none.
Scalable: Value is width in dots of the entire character
block. Magnification factors are unnecessary, since
characters are scaled.
Bitmapped: Value is rounded to nearest integer
multiple of the font’s base width, then divided by the
font’s base width, to give a magnification nearest limit.
n = Font Name (follows the normal ZPL naming convention)
If no letter designates the device location, the default
device = RAM or R:. The font named will carry over
on all subsequent ^A@ designations without a font name.
