9-4 Defining Special Fields
Gap
Depending on your printer’s configuration, enter the number of
dots between characters. For more information about your
printer’s configuration, see Chapter 3, “Configuring the
Printer.”
The gap range is 0 – 9. For mono-spaced fonts, the additional
spacing is added to the existing inter-character gap. This is
also true for proportionally spaced fonts, but the inter-
character gap varies with character combinations. Any
number other than 0 affects your field width. Default spacing:
Letter Gothic Bold 6pt 1 dot
Letter Gothic Bold 9pt 2 dots
All other fonts vary with each letter
Use the default unless you want to create a special effect,
such as P R I C E (additional character spacing) in a field.
Font
The style of font for your format. Choices include CG
Triumvirate Bold 6.5, 8, 10, 12, 18, or 22 point; CG
Triumvirate Bold Condensed 6.5, 8, 10, 12, 18, and 22 point;
and Letter Gothic 6.5 and 9 point.
Height
Magnification
Height magnifier for the selected font. Use a magnifier of 1
with proportionally spaced fonts, because characters lose
smoothness at higher magnifications. The range is 1 – 7.
Width
Magnification
Width magnifier for the selected font. Proportionally spaced
fonts do not have a set width. The range is 1 – 7.
