3.1.1
Character Generation
All the character sets and modes are based on one of two character cells, 10 wide x 9 high or 12 wide x 9
high. Double-wide mode is twice the width of normal mode, 20 wide x 9 high or 24 wide x 9 high.
In utility print mode, the character cell consists of five full-dots and five half-dots horizontally by nine
full-dots vertically. The character is a 9 x 9 character. In high speed draft (HSD) mode, the character cell
is shortened by one half-dot and one full-dot column yielding a 7 x 9 character.
Each character is justified to the left of the cell. The first four columns of the full dots and the first three
columns of half dots are used to generate the character in high speed draft. In utility mode, the first five
columns of the full dots and the first four columns of the half dots are used. The last full-dot and the last
two half-dots are used for character spacing in both modes.
