Our bitmap fonts are either monospaced (each character occupies the same amount of space) or proportional (each character is a different 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.

The magnification range is 1 - 7.

Use the MONARCH® MPCL™ Toolbox (Soft Font Utility), available on our Web site, to convert a bitmap font to Hex or Run-Length encoding for the printer. Select the point size and characters to print. Bitmap fonts may image faster than a TrueType font, but you are limited to the point size and characters you downloaded.

Monospaced characters occupy the same amount of space within a magnification. Use monospaced fonts for price fields and data you want to list in a column. Decide how wide and tall you want the characters to appear on the labels. The following two tables show the width and height of each of the monospaced fonts after magnification.

This table includes the default (3 dots for Standard, 1 dot for Reduced, 3 dots for Bold) spacing.

	Width Mag.	Standard				Reduced							Bold


	Units	Character				Character					Character
		Width Sample				Width Sample					Width Sample

1x	1/100 in.	8.37				3.9					13.3
1x	1/100 in.	8.37				3.9					13.3
	1/10 mm	21.26				9.9					33.78
	Dots	17				8					27
	Dots	17				8					27

7x	1/100 in.	49.75				24.63					84.24
	1/10 mm	126.37				62.56					214
	1/10 mm	126.37				62.56					214
	Dots	101				50					171
	Dots	101				50					171

To calculate other font widths, multiply the font dots (14 dots for Standard, 7 dots for Reduced, 24 dots for Bold) by the magnification and add the default spacing (3 dots for Standard, 1 dot for Reduced, 3 dots for Bold) between characters.
