Point Size Point size refers to the height of the character. Character size is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm). The printer function has bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The bitmapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size. Scalable fonts are freely scalable to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. The following figure shows an example of various point sizes. 4 NOTE See "Fonts and Scalable Fonts," on p. 4-7, for more information on bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts. Pitch (cpi) Pitch refers to the number of characters that are printed in one inch. The unit is cpi (characters per inch). As the number of characters per inch increases, the space between characters decreases; as the cpi decreases, the space between characters increases. Appendix 4-4 Some Basic Facts about Fonts

Point Size
Point size refers to the height of the character. Character size is measured in points.
One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm).
The printer function has bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The
bitmapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size.
Scalable fonts are freely scalable to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. The
following figure shows an example of various point sizes.
NOTE
See "Fonts and Scalable Fonts," on p. 4-7, for more information on bitmapped fonts and
scalable fonts.
Pitch (cpi)
Pitch refers to the number of characters that are printed in one inch. The unit is cpi
(characters per inch). As the number of characters per inch increases, the space
between characters decreases; as the cpi decreases, the space between
characters increases.
