Defining Constant Text Fields 7-3
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.
