Appendix B. Fonts

The height and width magnification are defined in point size.

72 points = one inch. One inch = cell size. The cell size is the built-in space around the individual characters of the scalable font. The minimum point size is 4 and the maximum point size is 90. The maximum point size for the scalable font using the 9490 printer is 200 point. If height and width magnification are not set to the same point size, the printed characters look tall and thin or short and thick, which allows for greater flexibility in the appearance of the font.

n ✦ Scalable fonts perform better in constant text fields, because those fields are imaged only once per batch, not once per label as in text fields.

✦The scalable font does not print a slashed zero.

✦The scalable font must be purchased separately for the 9446 and 1460 printers.

✦The scalable font is standard on the 9490 printer.

✦The transparent overlay allows closer field placement when using scalable or optional ROM fonts.

The 72 point CG Triumvirate Bold sample shows the one inch cell size.
