When working with fonts, you have three considerations: font appearance, font size (bitmapped), and font spacing (monospaced or proportional). See Appendix B, "Fonts," for samples of each font.

You can use an MPCLII format that was designed for another MPCLII printer on a 9416 printer. The format may appear smaller (fields will be shorter), because most of the 9416 printers use a 203 dpi printhead. However, an optional 300 dpi printhead is available. If you use a 203 dpi format on a 300 dpi printer, it may appear almost 50 percent smaller.

The Format Worksheet is divided into sections that list the field types. Each section has boxes to fill in with parameters that define your format. A format worksheet is included in Appendix D, "Format Design Tools."
