Special Notes
1. Characters may be enlarged through the use of the Character
Expansion command.
2. Character spacing may be altered through the use of the
Character Pitch command. The default is 2 dots between
characters. It is recommended to use a spacing of 5 dots for
OCR-A and 1 dot for OCR-B.
3. You may also create custom characters or fonts. See the
Custom-Designed Characters command.
4. A font must be defined for each field to be printed. There is no
default font.
5. The proportionally spaced fonts XU, XS, XM, XL and XA can be
printed with fixed spacing using the
command.
6. The matrices for the OA and OB fonts are scaled so that they will
remain a constant size according to the OCR-A and OCR-B
specifications when printed on different resolution printers.
