8-10 HP PCL Soft Font Design
Underline Height (UB)
Specifies the thickness of the underline in dots. The IntelliBar M Series always uses a
three-dot thickness for an underline.
Text Height (UI)
Specifies the font's optimum inter-line spacing in quarter-dot units. The IntelliBar M Series
does not use this field.
Text Width (UI)
Specifies the font's average lowercase character width in quarter-dot units. The IntelliBar
M Series does not use this field.
Pitch Extended (UB)
This is an addition to the pitch field that extends the pitch an extra eight bits. The value of
this field is 1/1024 of one dot. For example, a 17 pitch font would have a pitch field of 70
(17.5 dots, or 17.1429 cpi) and a pitch extended field of 150 (0.1465 dots additional, which
adds to 17.6465 dots, or 17.0005 pitch).
Height Extended (UB)
This is an addition to the height field that extends the height an extra eight bits. The value
of this field is 1/1024 of one dot. For example, a 10 point font would have a height field of
166 (41.5 dots, or 9.96 points) and a height extended field of 170 (0.1660 dots additional,
which adds to 9.9998 points).
Font Name (ASC16)
This is a 16-character ASCII field that you use to assign a font name. The IntelliBar M Se-
ries prints this font name on the test print when you select font sample (see the
IntelliBar M
Series User’s Guide
).
FONT DESCRIPTOR (FONT HEADER) COMMAND
The font descriptor (font header) command is used to download font header data to the
printer.
ESC)s#W [font header data]
The value field (#) identifies the number of bytes in the font header (see Table 8-7).
