l A few of today’s computer programs let you see several different font
sizes and typefaces on your computer screen. That capability is necessary
if you want to see on-screen exactly what will print on your Star
LaserPrinter 8111. Desktop publishers call this capability WYSIWYG-
“what you see is what you get”.
While “screen fonts” that match the fonts you use on your Star Laser-
Printer 8111 were not available when this manual was written, you may
eventually be able to get them. WYSIWYG depends on what software you
are using.
. When you design your pages, don’t vary font size just to fit text into the
space available. Go with a size that’s easy to read and be consistent.
Never be tempted to use all uppercase letters. When you want to highlight
text, switch to a bold font or draw a box around it.
l Don’t be afraid to use white space. White space relieves eye fatigue and
looks more attractive.
Optional fonts
Many optional fonts available for your Star LaserPrinter 8111 complement its
internal fonts. These can give you more variety in symbol sets, spacing, font
height, style and stroke weight. To your Courier or Tms Romn fonts, for
example, you might add italics and bold, legal or math symbol sets, and sizes
ranging from 7 to 14 points.
Optional fonts offer different typefaces too. Ask your Star Micronics dealer
about cartridges or disks for the following:
Helvet
line drawing fonts
Letter Gothic presentation fonts
Bar codes
optical character reader fonts
universal product code
