Considering Fonts
When working with fonts, you have three considerations:
◆
font appearance
◆
font size (scalable or bitmapped)
◆
font spacing (monospaced or proportional)
The scalable font, CG Triumvirate Bold
(font 50) is standard on
the 9830, 9835, 9840, and 9850 printers. It is not available for
the 9403, 9805 or 9820 printers. With the 9840 printer (V. 6.5+)
or the 9850 printer, font 50 is a TrueType® font (EFF Swiss Bold).
See Appendix B, "Fonts," for samples of each font.
Interchanging Packets
You can use an MPCLII format that was designed for another
MPCLII printer on a 9800 series printer. However, the format may
appear smaller (fields will be shorter), because most of the 9800
series printers use a 203 dpi printhead. The 9840 and 9850
printers have an optional 300 dpi printhead.
Using the Format Worksheet
The Format Worksheet is divided into sections that list the field
types. Each section has boxes to fill in with parameters that
define your format. A format worksheet is included in Appendix
D, "Format Design Tools."
