Field Name Description Character size Specifies the character width and character height to be printed. Note: When you use values other than *DEFAULT, the values impact performance. You also should be aware of the following: v If your printer type is 4, 5, or 6, you can not specify this parameter. v If your printer type is 2 or 3 you must specify font type 1. v If your printer type is one of the others, there are no restrictions. Width Specifies each character’s width. When the measurement method is Row/Column, you can specify the multiplier of the character width which was specified as Characters per inch in the overlay specifications or the PFD specifications. Otherwise, you can specify the character width in that measurement method, that is, the unit of measure in the overlay specifications or the PFD specifications. The printer prints the overlay text data with either enlarged or reduced characters. The default value *DEFAULT indicates that the font is used as is and no enlarging or reducing is performed. The character width is measured by its font box width. The origin of the character font is set at the bottom left corner of the font box. Notes: 1. Not all printers support this function, and this prompt is not displayed if the printer you specify does not support this function. 2. If the value you specify is too small for the 4224 printer, the 4234 printer, and the 4230 printer, the text is not printed correctly. Height Specifies each character’s height. When the measurement method is Row/Column, you can specify the multiplier of the character height which was specified as Characters per inch in the overlay specifications or the PFD specifications.
