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.
