from 4 to 30 point size, and can be printed in regular,
bold, italic. and outline style.
The DA500/DA550 also supports downloaded fonts.
This means that if you are using Windows, all the
fonts installed in Windows are available. The options
on this menu are Name, Width, Bold, Italic, and
Outline.
A. Name
The printer has thirteen internal fonts as described
above, and one barcode font.
B. Size
The font size (internal or external) can be set from 4
to 30 point.
C. Width
The font width is Normal (100%), thin (75%), con-
densed (50%), wide (125%) or expanded (150%).
D. Bold
This is the darkest imprint because character stroke
weight (thickness of print) is increased. Use Bold to
emphasize or highlight text in an address.
E. Italic
Italic characters have decreased stroke weight, print
at an oblique angle and print somewhat lighter than
standard or bold typefaces. Use italic to provide
emphasis and add flair to address text that requires a
finished, polished appearance.
