The CG Triumvirate

DOS Code Page 437 and 850 Symbol Sets. The scalable font
does not support Code Page 1256 (Arabic). See Appendix C,
"Symbol Sets/Code Pages," for more information.

TrueType/Scalable fonts, use

, for the font’s point size.
Use a magnifier of

with proportionally spaced fonts, because
characters lose smoothness at higher magnifications. See
Appendix B, "Fonts," for more information about fonts.

, for the font’s point size. Proportionally spaced
fonts do not have a set width. To estimate the size of your
field, use the letter "W" for the widest field or an "L" for an
average width field. Find your selected font and the desired
width in Appendix B, "Fonts."
C8. color There are two types of field color overlay attributes:
Transparent The overlay field (text or constant text) does
not block out (or "erase") existing fields.
Opaque The overlay field blocks out (or "erases")
existing fields.

Note:
Solid black print should not exceed 30% on a given
square inch of the label, or the printhead life may be
decreased.
Field placement in the packet is an important
consideration when using field color attributes. If a
line field is defined before the overlay (text or
constant text) field, the line field is blocked out by the
overlay field, depending on the overlay field’s color
attribute.
