ESC/P Command Reference
3.2 Characters
This system uses single-byte character codes and is installed with two bitmap fonts (Letter Gothic Bold and
Helsinki) and 2 outline fonts (Letter Gothic and Helsinki).
Fixed pitch or proportional pitch (PS pitch) can be specified for any of the fonts.
However, there are fonts that are better with a fixed pitch and fonts that are better with a proportional pitch (PS
pitch).
The fonts that are better with a fixed pitch are: Letter Gothic and Letter Gothic Bold.
The font that is better with a proportional pitch is: Helsinki.
Each bitmap font has three sizes: 16 dots, 24 dots, and 32 dots.
3.1.1 Character sizes
Each font is available in full size, compressed size (half width), double width, double height and half width,
double height, and quadruple size.
Full size Half width
Double width Double height Double height Quadruple size
and half width
The actual character size is slightly smaller than the nominal size (the parameter value received with the size
command). This varies depending on the font.
Nominal (dots) 16 24 32
Height (dots) 15 21 28
Width (dots) 8 10 14
The above example is for Letter Gothic Bold (full size, no character styles applied).
The line-drawing characters (┘└ ┤─ ├ │ ┼ ┬ ┐┌ , etc.) and shaded characters have the Brougham font
applied regardless of the specified font and pitch (proportional or fixed) settings.
