T/vT Commands - ASCII Text (Monochrome)
Description Downloads a single line of modified ANSI Windows
characters as text. See Appendix A for Character
Map. The “T” command downloads to the Resin
buffer, and the “ vT” command downloads to the
Varnish buffer.
A printer error occurs when text extends beyond the
addressable buffer area. The resident fonts derive
from proportionally-spaced 100-point Arial Bold
and 100-point Arial Normal. Because of kerning,
characters spacing is minimized.
