A FONT is a group of characters which all belong to the same character set
and have the same typeface, the same style, the same height and print
pitch and the same stroke weight.

Your printer uses only resident fonts, which are always available.

Line Draw

This font is available ONLY in portrait, with 12 cpi spacing, 12 dots in
height and medium stroke weight.

The standard print test contains a print sample (the default character
set) of all the resident fonts.

Two independent fonts, primary font and secondary font, are always active
in the printer.  All their characteristics can be modified independently,
one at a time.  You can alternate between the currently active primary and
secondary fonts using the command codes "SI" and "SO".
