A scalable font can enlarged in regard of width relative the height. The value<br />
is given as percent (1–1000). This means that if the value is 100, there is no<br />
change in the appearance of the characters, whereas if the value is gives as e.g.<br />
50 or 200, the width will he half the height or double the height respectively.<br />
When using this parameter, all parameters in the syntax must be included in<br />
the sattement, i.e. name, height, slant, and width.<br />
The standard complement of fonts listed in chapter 6 can be supplemented<br />
with more fonts using three methods:<br />
• Downloading fonts from a Font Install Card.<br />
The card must be inserted before the printer is started. At startup the fonts<br />
are automatically downloaded, installed and permanently stored in the<br />
printer's memory. The fonts can be used without the card being present<br />
• Using fonts from a Font Card.<br />
The card must be inserted before the printer is started. At startup the fonts<br />
are automatically installed, but not copied to the printer's memory (i.e. the<br />
card must always be present before such a font can be used).<br />
• Downloading font files.<br />
Font files can be downloaded and installed by means of either of the two<br />
statements IMAGE LOAD and TRANSFER KERMIT. There is no need<br />
to restart the printer before using the font in question.<br />
It is possible to create aliases for one or several font to get shorter or more<br />
adequate names. Refer to chapter 6 for further explanation.<br />
