APPENDIX F: CHARACTER FONT FORMAT
F.1 Character Font Format
A printed character consists of a matrix of dots, and the dot patterns are called font data, which is
normally stored in ROM.
The printer has character fonts which are classified roughly into 2 patterns: the normal dot pattern and
the half dot pattern.
In the normal dot pattern, dots in the horizontal direction are arranged with 1 dot space as shown in
Figure F.1.1. For the half dot pattern, the space between dot positions is half the width of 1 dot as
shown in Figure F.1.2.
Fonts are categorized by (the number of horizontal dots) 5 (the number of vertical dots). The number
of horizontal dots is counted using normal units for normal dot patterns, and using half dot units for half
dot patterns.
For example, the font in Figure F.1.1 is 5
´
7 and that in Figure F.1.2 is 7

7.
