Other than this list, as fixed character pitch 1 byte code typefaces, 50% the width of 2 byte code characters can be specified by specifying the code of 2byte code character with 0x80000 added (logically OR’ed). 

Example.
0x81000Hankaku Mincho
(50% the width of 2-byte code Mincho)
0x00282006Hankaku PMT Gothic light
(50% the width of 2-byte code PMT Gothic light)

Corresponding characters can be printed using the NWP-533, NWF-537 or NWP-543 when any of the fonts listed here are specified.  Hankaku katakana is a 50% width version of the corresponding 2-byte code.  Another typeface will replace the one specified when there is no corresponding character font data for the typeface specified.  The interpretation of typeface codes depends on the printer when using other than the NEWS printers mentioned above.
