iR33/28/22RG.book Page 2 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM Some Basic Facts About Fonts This section summarises some of the basic facts you should know about fonts. What Is a Font? A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a font. A font consists of the letters A to Z in both upper and lowercase, digits, and symbols.
iR33/28/22RG.book Page 3 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM Typeface Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure shows an example of some typefaces. ■ Typeface Courier ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Times ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Helvetica ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Stroke Weight Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold stroke weights. The printer function has medium and bold fonts available.
iR33/28/22RG.book Page 4 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM Point size Point size refers to the height of the character. Point size is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm). The printer function has bit-mapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The bit-mapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size. Scalable fonts are freely scalable to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.
iR33/28/22RG.book Page 5 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM Pitch (cpi) Pitch refers to the number of characters that are printed in one inch. The unit is cpi (characters per inch). As the number of characters per inch increases, the space between characters decreases; as the cpi decreases, the space between characters increases. ■ Pitch Character Width (Fix and PS) Each character has a different width from all the other characters in a font at a given point size. For example, “W” is a wider letter than “I.
iR33/28/22RG.book Page 6 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM ■ Fixed spacing and Proportional spacing Fixed spacing Proportional spacing Orientation Orientation refers to the direction of printing. The printer function can print using two different paper orientations: portrait and landscape. With portrait orientation, text is printed across the width of the paper (short edge), and with landscape orientation, text is printed across the length of the paper (long edge).
iR33/28/22RG.book Page 7 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM Symbol Set When you print the letter “A,” the host computer sends a code corresponding to “A” (hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern corresponding to the received code. In this case, the machine searches for the pattern for “A,” and prints it.
iR33/28/22RG.book Page 8 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM Bit-mapped Fonts and Scalable Fonts There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type of data from which they are formed. • Bit-mapped fonts • Scalable fonts Bit-mapped Fonts Each character of bit-mapped fonts are composed of grid of small dots and stored in the machine’s memory in dot matrix.
iR33/28/22RG.book Page 9 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM Scalable Fonts With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.
iR33/28/22RG.book Page 10 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM Standard Scalable Fonts (PCL) With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. (The maximum range of scaling depends on the size of the memory installed in the machine and the size of the paper used.) The following scalable typefaces are included with the machine.

iR33/28/22RG.book Page 14 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM Checking the Font Lists for Available Fonts Font lists are a comprehensive listing of all fonts currently available. The listing contains both the names of resident fonts, and the names of the fonts stored on any external hard disk that may be present.
iR33/28/22RG.book Page 15 Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:21 PM The Font List includes the following information: q Font Name The typeface name. w Spacing This indicates whether a font is a fixed-size, non-proportional font or a proportional font. e Style Upright (straight) characters or italic (slanted) characters. r Stroke Weight The stroke weight of the characters in the font. t Pitch/Point Size The pitch and point size. For a scalable font, Scale is displayed.
