Teeny Type for Tiny Things

Abstract

Teeny Type is a combination of condensed and superscript dot matrix type styles with narrow line spacing. It can be used for labeling small objects such as slides, contents of disks, etc. These directions for creating Teeny Type are for Epson printers but will work on some other models also. You can create Teeny Type with your OCLC Terminal Software and, if you want to use it with other programs, directions for creating a batch file are also given. [Editor: Another method that produces much the same results was described in OCLC Micro, vol. 1, no. 4, on p. 34. None of these methods will work with a daisy‐wheel type letter quality printer, nor will they work if you have set the DIP switches on your dot matrix printer to near‐letter‐quality printing.
