Available Fonts and Barcodes
All character fonts and bar codes available with the Printer are
described in this section. Each font and barcode have a name
associated with it for use in programming. Human-readable fonts
have numeric names while bar code fonts have alpha names.
Uppercase alpha names will print bar codes with human-readable
interpretations, while lowercase alpha names will print bar codes
only.
Fonts 0 through 8 use the slash zero (Ø) conventions for
distinguishing between the zero and the letter O. The slash can be
removed with the label formatting command Z. These fonts are
non-proportional (monospaced) fonts, all of the characters take up
the same amount of space when printed. This is helpful when using
variable data in a fixed area. The sizes of these fonts are shown in
Table B-1.
The Triumvirate font number 9 is a proportional font, each character
will take up a different amount of space when printed. For example,
the letter W will be larger than the letter I.
