Print Text in Monochrome
Printing
text
using
a
K
panel
can
make
text
look
crisp,
because
it
uses
only
one
panel
for
printing.
Fine
text
is
more
readable
when
printed
with
more
power.
You
set
the
power
using
the
Printer
Manager.
Refer
to
“Printer
Setting
Menu”
on
page
38
for
more
information.
The
font
used
also
affects
legibility.
The
printer
reliably
prints
6
‐
point
Arial
font.
Bold,
sans
‐
serif
fonts
are
more
readable
after
printing
than
serif
fonts,
or
fonts
with
thin
strokes,
as
shown
at
right.
In
the
example,
fonts
that
well
are
shown
toward
the
top
of
the
card.
Print Bar Codes
Bar
code
design
follows
a
set
of
standards
based
on
the
type
of
bar
code
produced.
Bar
codes
contain
a
series
of
black
lines
(bars)
separated
by
white
areas
(spaces).
Each
character
of
encoded
data
is
represented
by
a
set
of
bars
and
spaces.
A
bar
code
standard
specifies
how
many
bars
and
spaces
encode
a
character.
The
standard
also
specifies
the
minimum
size
of
the
white
area,
or
quiet
zone,
that
surrounds
the
bar
code.
When
an
application
prints
bar
codes,
the
data
is
sent
to
the
printer
as
an
image.
The
format
in
which
the
application
sends
the
image
determines
how
the
image
is
rendered.
If
the
data
sent
is
a
one
‐
bit
‐
per
‐
pixel
image,
such
as
pure
black
bars
on
a
white
background,
the
software
processes
it
using
the
K
panel
of
the
ribbon.
If
the
data
contains
a
pixel
of
color
other
than
pure
black
or
pure
white,
such
as
the
various
colors
in
a
JPEG
image,
it
processes
the
image
using
the
YMC
panels
of
the
ribbon.
