T9. hgt mag Height magnifier,

7
(times- for bitmapped fonts). With
TrueType/Scalable fonts, use
4
-
255
, for the font’s point size.
Use a magnifier of
1
with proportionally spaced fonts, because
characters lose smoothness at higher magnifications. See
Appendix B, "Fonts," for more information about fonts.

7
(times). With TrueType/Scalable fonts,
use
4
-
255
, 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."

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. If a line field is defined after the overlay
field, the line field is not blocked out by the overlay field,
regardless of the overlay field’s color attribute.
