The height is the vertical distance between the baseline and
the extreme ascending parts of the characters in the font, for
example the lowest and the highest parts of an “Ü” character,
see illustration.
In this and any of the following font parameter menus, you can
get a preview on how the bitmap font will look according to the
parameters entered so far. Just press <Print> and the printer will
produce a sample.
ASCII RANGE FROM
_32
In order to save memory space, you can limit the number of characters
to be scaled within a certain range of ASCII characters according
to the Roman 8 character set (see table to the left). In this menu, you
specify the decimal ASCII value of the fi rst character in the range.
Default is ASCII 32 dec., that is, a space character.
Type the desired start value (if other than default) and press
<Enter>.
ASCII RANGE TO
126
In this menu you specify the last character in the range. The size of
the font and the number of characters in the font decides how much
space in RAM will be required. Accept the default value 126, or
type another value. Then press <Enter>.
DIRECTION:1 or 2
1
If a font is to be printed in all four directions, there must be two
bitmap fonts; one for printing across the media (DIR 1 & 3) and
another for printing along the media (DIR 2 & 4). In this menu
you must specify for which printing direction you want the bitmap
font to be used:
• For printing across the media (DIR 1 & 3), select Direction 1.
• For printing along the media (DIR 2 & 4), select Direction 2.
Accept the default value 1, or change the direction by typing 2.
Then press <Enter>.
