Expanded font
Fontcanbeexpandedbya factorof 1to36.
Internalbitmapfontscanalsobe expanded withafactorof1to36.
Example: Afontinasizeof5dotsofwidth and9dotsofheightisexpandedbyafactorof3. Theresulting fonthasawidth of15dots
andaheightof27dots.
The input of expansion factors (height xexpansionfactor, width x expansion factor) for characters to be printed is doneas described
below:
Widthxexpansion factor= widthparametersetting value
Height xexpansion factor=height parametersetting value
The command<L> decides theexpansionof the character.Thisparameterissetas factor.
Example: If setting thefactorto: <L>0304,the character is expanded by a factor of 3 in horizontal direction(width)and a factorof
4inverticaldirection(height)
Ifanexpansionfactorisspecified,alsothepitchbetweenthecharactersisautomaticallydetermined.
Fixed pitch / proportional pitch
There are fonts which can select both the fixed pitch and the proportional pitch. You can set the proportional pitch by <PS>
command and release it by<PR>command on the printer screen.
Depending on the font type, the width of the proportional pitch does differ. Kata-kanais not affected bythe proportional pitch, but the
sidespaceofcharacterswillbenarrowed.
