Because the NLQ characters can use as many as 

dots vertically

and 12 dots horizontally, you plan your designs on a different grid

than the one for draft characters.

7-6. 

On this grid you can use any numbered line or space. As you can

see, that includes the bottom line and the line on the right side. You

should remember to leave one or two columns blank for space

between characters, however.

Each NLQ character definition requires 36 data numbers. There-

fore, each vertical column must be divided into three sections for the

calculation of data numbers. The process is not difficult once you get

some practice using it.

Figure 7-7 shows a single column to make clear how the data num-

bers are calculated. Notice that using circles instead of dots in design-

ing NLQ characters makes it easier to keep track of overlapping dots.
