1: Internal Bitmapped Fonts
This record type is used for internal bitmapped fonts (see Appendix C, Tables C-1
through C-5).
When a 0 through 8 is entered in field b, then the height field eee is not used. The
bitmapped fonts include 8 different fonts (see Appendix C). The character mapping
for these fonts is shown in Appendix A, or a subset thereof.
Field Valid Inputs Meaning
a
1, 2, 3 and 4 Rotation
b
0 to 8 (see Appendix C). Font
c
1 to 9, A to Z, and a to z Width Multiplier
d
1 to 9, A to Z, and a to z Height Multiplier
eee
000 N/A
ffff
0000 to 9999 Row
gggg
0000 to 9999 Dependent upon printer. See Appendix K. Column
jj…j
Valid ASCII character string up to 255 characters, followed by
a termination character.

Table 8-6: Internal Bitmapped Font Record Structure
2: Smooth Font, Font Modules, and Downloaded Bitmapped Fonts
This record type is used for internal smooth fonts (CG Triumvirate – see Table C-6)
or a bitmapped font downloaded to a memory module; see Font Loading Commands.
When a 9 is entered in field b, then the height field eee determines the font. The
internal smooth font has up to 13 font sizes (see Appendix C). Values 100 through
999 select individual fonts stored on DRAM, or Flash memory. These include
downloaded bitmapped fonts (see Table 8-5). Use eee values of 096 – 099 for Kanji
fonts, if equipped (see Appendix I). The character mapping is shown in Appendix A.
Field Valid Inputs Meaning
a
1, 2, 3 and 4 Rotation
b
9 Fixed Value
c
1 to 9, A to Z, and a to z Width Multiplier
d
1 to 9, A to Z, and a to z Height Multiplier
