MPCLII Packet Reference Manual

Choosing the appropriate font appearance is up to the user. See Appendix B, "Fonts," for samples of each font. Choosing the appropriate font size and spacing depends on how much space is available on your supply. Monospaced characters occupy the same amount of space within a magnification, making it easy to predict the field size. Use monospaced fonts for price fields and data you want to list in a column. Proportionally spaced characters vary in height and width, making it difficult to predict the field size. However, you may be able to place more characters on a line.

Monarch offers software to convert TrueType fonts into printer fonts that can be interpreted by Monarch® MPCLII printers. Optional font ROMs are also available for these printers. Call your Monarch Representative for more information.
