ESC/P Command Reference 3.2 Characters This system uses single-byte character codes and is installed with 3 bitmap fonts (Letter Gothic Bold, Helsinki and Gothic) and 4 outline fonts (Letter Gothic, Brussels, Helsinki and Gothic). Fixed pitch or proportional pitch can be specified for any of the fonts. However, there are fonts that are better with a fixed pitch and fonts that are better with a proportional pitch. The fonts that are better with a fixed pitch are: Letter Gothic and Letter Gothic Bold. The font that is better with a proportional pitch are: Brussels, Helsinki and Gothic. Each bitmap font has three sizes: 16 dots, 24 dots, and 32 dots. 3.2.1 Character sizes Each font is available in full size, compressed size (half width), double width, double height and half width, double height, and quadruple size. Full size Half width Double width Double height and half width Double height Quadruple size The actual character size is slightly smaller than the nominal size (the parameter value received with the size command). This varies depending on the font. Nominal (dots) 16 24 32 Height (dots) 15 21 28 Width (dots) 8 10 14 The above example is for Letter Gothic Bold (full size, no character styles applied). The line-drawing characters etc.) and shaded characters have their own pitch regardless of the specified font and pitch (proportional or fixed) settings. - 13 - 3. ESC/P Command Limitations
