Xerox 4213 MICR MRP Guida Utente

This section describes font support and the relationships
between IBM and Xerox fonts.

The ability to install customised translate tables and cross
reference tables between IBM and Xerox fonts provides the user
with an exceptional degree of flexibility and considerable scope
for designing fonts to suit individual requirements, not
specifically addressed by this design.

Tables showing the Xerox ISO6937, OCR, and APL character sets
and the supported IBM code pages are found in Appendix A.

The font support provided by the Xerox Coax/Twinax Option
(XCTO) far exceeds the font capabilities of most of the printers it
emulates. Support is provided for three categories of fonts:

Fixed pitch fonts
XCTO supports fixed pitch fonts matching the fixed pitch
capabilities of all the IBM printers emulated.

•

Proportionally spaced fonts
XCTO provides support for proportionally-spaced fonts using
the same PS width values as those used by IBM, thus
ensuring a perfect match with IBM PS fonts even when
justification is in use.

•

Typographic fonts
As the characters in typographic fonts have variable widths,
justification, underscoring, and overstriking may not appear
as intended.
