• Y is another special font choice that is not actually a
font. The Y font selects a graphic image that has already
been loaded into the memory module. If this font is
selected, enter the name of the graphic image in the
Data/Prompt position. This name must be uppercase
characters when printing an image.
If any letter or number is entered in the FNT Position
other than those specified above, the following error
message will appear:
INVALID FONT TYPE
You will need to re-enter the data. After entering the
desired font and pressing the return key, the cursor will
move to the XW position.
6. The XW and XH positions are used to magnify widths and
heights of fonts, and to change the wide/narrow ratio of
barcodes.
• If you wish to magnify the width of a font, valid
responses are 1 through 9 and A through O. The default
value is 1 for fonts.
• If you wish to magnify the width of a barcode, valid
responses are 1 through 9 and A through K. The default
is 3 for ratio-based barcodes, 2 for fonts Q & R and 1
for all other barcode fields. If the pixel width is 1, the
result will be a 5 mil (.0005") wide bar. If the pixel
width is 2, the result will be a 10 mil (.010")wide bar.
Pixel sizes by label format are specified in the Print
Parameters screen.
• Enter the desired XW dimension and press the return
key. The cursor will move to the XH position.
