value. The base height is used if none is specified.
Scalable:
The value is the height in dots of the entire character block. Magnification
factors are unnecessary, since characters are scaled.
Bitmapped:
The value is rounded to nearest integer multiple of the font’s base height, then
divided by the font’s base height to give a magnification nearest limit.
w = character width(in dots)
Default Value: Magnification specified by h(height)or the last accepted ^CF value. The
base width is used if none is specified.
Scalable:
The value is the width in dots of the entire character block. Magnification
factors are unnecessary, since characters are scaled.
Bitmapped:
The value is rounded to nearest integer multiple of the font’s base width, then
divided by the font’s base width to give a magnification nearest limit.
n = font name(.FNT extension)
Accepted Values: any valid font(with the extension .FNT)
Default Value: If no letter designates the device location, the default device is RAM or
R:. The font named will carry over on all subsequent ^A@ commands without a font
name.
Example:
^XA^A@N,25,25,B:Cyrillic.FNT^FO100,20^FS
^FDThis is a test^FS
^A@N,50,50^FO200,40^FS
^FDThis string uses the B:Cyrillic.FNT^FS^XZ
The first line will search the non-volatile memory of the printer(e.g. B:) looking for the
“Cyrillic.FNT” font name. When the font is found, the command will set the character size, the field
origin, and print the field data “This is a test” on a label(line2).
In the third command line, the character size is increased and a new field origin is set. Line 4 prints
the field data “This string uses the B: Cyrillic.FNT” in the same font.
