GP-PRO/PB3's [Direct Text] is converted to GP-Pro EX's [Direct Text].
Basically, the operation of GP-Pro EX's [Direct Text] is the same as that of GP-PRO/PB3's [Direct Text]. However, GP-Pro EX does not have selection setup items for GP-PRO/PB3's [1/2 Kanji Font]. Instead of it, with GP-Pro EX, the Kanji size can be selected in 8 x 8.
In converting data from GP-PRO/PB3 to GP-Pro EX, if the text size of [Direct Text] is set to Half Size, the text size setting after conversion differs in the following conditions.
When the display of Text differs |
When double-byte and single byte letters exist in one line |
|
When only single-byte letters exist in one line |
|
|
