Our printers support two types of fonts: Bitmapped (traditional printer fonts such as Standard and Reduced) and Scalable/TrueType® (Font 50). This appendix gives a brief overview of each type of font and how your printer interprets fonts. It also shows examples of the fonts loaded in your printer.

	Number	Font Size and Appearance	Type of Spacing	# of Dots Between
				Characters

	1	Standard	monospaced	3 (203 dpi)

	2	Reduced	monospaced	1 (203 dpi)

	3	Bold	monospaced	3 (203 dpi)

	4	OCRA-like	monospaced	3 (203 dpi)

	5	HR1	monospaced	2 (203 dpi)

	6	HR2	monospaced	1 (203 dpi)

	10	CG Triumvirate Typeface	proportional	varies w/ each letter
	10	Bold (9 pt.)	proportional	varies w/ each letter
		Bold (9 pt.)

	11	CG Triumvirate Typeface	proportional	varies w/ each letter
	11	(6 pt.)	proportional	varies w/ each letter
		(6 pt.)

	50	EFF Swiss Bold	scalable	varies w/ each letter

*Fonts 5 and 6 are for numeric data only. The CG Triumvirate typefaces support only the ANSI and DOS Code Page 437 and 850 Symbol Sets. Font 50 is a TrueType font, EFF Swiss Bold. These samples were printed using the Internal Symbol set.

B i t m a p F o n t I n f o r m a t i o n

The Monarch bitmap fonts are either monospaced (each character occupies the same amount of space) or proportional (each character is a different height and width). Use monospaced fonts for price fields and data you want to list in a column. With proportionally spaced fonts, you may be able to place more characters on a line. However, you may need to experiment with these fonts and adjust field measurements in your format. The bitmapped fonts (either monospaced or proportional) appear jagged when magnified.
