FONTS
B
Our printers support two types of fonts: Bitmapped (traditional printer fonts
such as Standard and Reduced) and Scalable/TrueType® (Font 50). This
appendix gives a brief overview of each type of font and how your printer
interprets fonts. It also shows examples of the fonts loaded in your printer.

samples were printed using the Internal Symbol set.
Bitmap Font Information
The Monarch bitmap fonts are either monospaced (each character occupies
the same amount of space) or proportional (each character is a different
height and 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.
