Gap

Depending on your printer’s configuration, enter the number of

 

dots between characters. For more information about your

 

printer’s configuration, see Chapter 3, “Configuring the

 

Printer.”

 

The gap range is 0 – 9. For mono-spaced fonts, the additional

 

spacing is added to the existing inter-character gap. This is

 

also true for proportionally spaced fonts, but the inter-

 

character gap varies with character combinations. Any

 

number other than 0 affects your field width. Default spacing:

 

Letter Gothic Bold 6pt 1 dot

 

Letter Gothic Bold 9pt 2 dots

 

All other fonts vary with each letter

 

Use the default unless you want to create a special effect,

 

such as P R I C E (additional character spacing) in a field.

Font

The style of font for your format. Choices include CG

 

Triumvirate Bold 6.5, 8, 10, 12, 18, or 22 point; CG

 

Triumvirate Bold Condensed 6.5, 8, 10, 12, 18, and 22 point;

 

and Letter Gothic 6.5 and 9 point.

Height

Height magnifier for the selected font. Use a magnifier of 1

Magnification

with proportionally spaced fonts, because characters lose

 

smoothness at higher magnifications. The range is 1 – 7.

Width

Width magnifier for the selected font. Proportionally spaced

Magnification

fonts do not have a set width. The range is 1 – 7.
