Font 0-9 - Text Format Record
Plain English
A text format record is a fixed 15-byte header followed by data. R = rotation (1-4), F = font ID (0-9), w = width multiplier (1-9), h = height multiplier (1-9), SSS = data length (3 digits), rrrr = row position, cccc = column position. The remaining characters are the text data. Font 0 is the smallest (5x7) and font 9 is the largest (18x24 OCR-B).
When to use
Whenever you need to print text on the label. Each text element is a single format record line.
