§ Both fonts are monospaced, meaning for each character pitch selected (cpi) all the
characters are exactly the same width, making page layout easy to control. The MSP
compatible dot matrix font are based on a single 6x16 font table. The printer modifies this
table to yield various widths and weights.
§ Four different font tables are used to generate the courier font typefaces. On initial power
up, the printer defaults to 42 column, 21 cpi courier typeface. For the Courier normal
characters, the individual lines or strokes of each character are finer, giving a more airy
feel to the typeface. Courier bold characters have a heavier or thicker line width, putting
more emphasis in the text.
6-Bit Dot Addressable Graphics commands:
§ The printer will operate in 6-Bit Dot Addressable Graphics mode on receiving the Esc-G
graphic command. While in this mode the printer prints one dot line at a time on receipt
of 64 graphic characters or LF command. The LF command advances the paper by one
dot line.
§ Each horizontal graphic dot is made from 1x6 dot cells; the total number of dot cells per
line is 64, corresponding to the 384 total dots per line capacity. Each dot in a dot cell can
be turned on or off by sending specific ASCII characters. For example, #F hex will
energize all dots, while 40 hex de-energizes all the dots.
