Internal Fonts and Bar Code Examples
This section describes all character fonts and bar codes internally available in the
Prodigy Plus
TM
print engine.
7.1 Explanation of Fonts and Bar Codes
All character fonts and bar codes available in the Prodigy Plus
TM
print engine are
illustrated on the following pages. Each character font and bar code has a “name”
associated with it for use in programming. Character fonts have been given numeric
names while bar code fonts are selected by alpha names. Bar code fonts in uppercase
alpha names will print bar codes with human readable interpretations. Bar code fonts in
lowercase alpha names will be the same codes printed as bars only.
Bar code human readable fonts use the slash zero convention for distinguishing between
the zero and the alphabetic O.
Character Fonts 0, 1 and 2 include the upper and lowercase ASCII characters, which
include commonly used international characters. Character Font 9 is the CG Triumvirate
smooth font. Point sizes are 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 48.
