What is a Font?
A font is a set of letters and other characters with a common
design and style. The OKIPAGE 6e/6ex provide a bitmapped
font which has a specific height and point size. In addition there
are also resident scalable fonts, which you can print in any size
from 4 points to 999.75 points. (1 point =
1
/
72
")
Selecting Fonts in Your Software
The easiest way to select fonts is through your software program.
Your software can send a printer command that consists of a set
of codes, one for each of the font characteristics. If your software
has the appropriate driver, you can specify the font you want,
and it will send the necessary commands to the printer. For
detailed information on how to select fonts in your software
package, refer to your software documentation.
