Character Generation
All the character sets and modes are based on one of two character cells, 10 wide by 9 high
or 12 wide by 9 high. Double-wide mode is twice the width of normal mode, 20 wide by 9
high or 24 wide by 9 high.
or 12 wide by 9 high. Double-wide mode is twice the width of normal mode, 20 wide by 9
high or 24 wide by 9 high.
In utility print mode, the character cell consists of five full dots and five half dots
horizontally by nine full dots vertically. The character cell is 9 by 9. In high speed draft
(HSD) mode, the character cell is shortened by one half and one full dot column yielding a 7
by 9 character.
horizontally by nine full dots vertically. The character cell is 9 by 9. In high speed draft
(HSD) mode, the character cell is shortened by one half and one full dot column yielding a 7
by 9 character.
Each character is justified to the left of the cell. The first four columns of the full dots and
the first three columns of the half dots are used to generate the character in high speed draft.
In utility mode, the first five columns of the full dots and the first four columns of the half
dots are used. The last full dot and the last two half dots are used for character spacing in
both modes.
the first three columns of the half dots are used to generate the character in high speed draft.
