Font, Type Size, Justification | Brady label maker manual

Font	Sets the default font style. Pull down the list
	and select a font style. The factory-installed
	fonts are:
	• Arial 65 for BRC
	• Arial for BRC (default)
	• Brush Script for BRC
	•	Tahoma
	•	Times New Roman for BRC
	Your system may offer additional fonts
	installed by your organization.

Type Size	Sets the default type size. Enter the size you
	want to use as the default. Note that the
	system default size of 24 points is based on
	the largest type size that will fit on the
	smallest tape width (.5 inch).
	Hint! If you are working exclusively with a
		certain tape supply, you may find it
		useful to set the Type Size default
		setting to one appropriate for that
		tape width.

Justification	Sets the alignment that will be the default
	for labels with a single line or with multiple
	lines within a single text object.
	• Left aligns the text so that each line starts
		on the left side of the text object.
	• Center aligns the text so that each line is
		centered on the text object (default).
	• Right aligns the text so that each line
		ends against the right side of the text
		object.
