3.Font Selection The DA300 has five available fonts (typefaces): Courier, Sans Serif , Roman, OCR-A, and OCR-B. Each one has point sizes from 4 to 30 pt and can be printed in regu- lar, bold, italic, and outline style. The DA300 also supports downloaded fonts. This means that if you are using Windows, all the fonts installed in Windows are available. This also applies to any DOS applications that can download fonts.

The options on this menu are Name, Size, Width, Bold,

Italic, and Outline.

A. Name

The printer has five internal fonts: Courier, Sans Serif ,

Roman, OCR-A, and OCR-B

B. Size

The font size can range from 4 pt to 30 pt.

C. Width

The font width is Normal (100%), thin (75%), con- densed (50%), wide (125%) or expanded (150%).

D. Bold

This is the darkest imprint because character stroke weight (thickness of print) is increased. Use Bold to emphasize or highlight text in an address.

E. Italic

Italic characters have decreased stroke weight, print at an oblique angle and print somewhat lighter than standard or bold typefaces. Use italic to provide emphasis and add flair to address text that requires a finished, polished appearance.

F. Outline

The Outline font option creates an outline for each letter, for a slightly 3-D or hollow effect for special purpose use.
