Note

Fonts are either fixed or proportional in spacing. This printer supports

 

fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter) and proportional

 

fonts, including CG Times, Arial®, and Times New Roman.

 

Fixed-space fonts are best used in applications such as spreadsheets

 

and databases, where it is important for columns to line up vertically.

 

Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in word processing

 

applications.
