Paxar Monarch 1460, Reference Manual

Page: 20 / 217

Choosing the appropriate font appearance is up to the user.
See Appendix B, "Fonts," for samples of each font. Choosing
the appropriate font size and spacing depends on how much
space is available on your supply. Monospaced characters
occupy the same amount of space within a magnification,
making it easy to predict the field size. Use monospaced fonts
for price fields and data you want to list in a column.
Proportionally spaced characters vary in height and width,
making it difficult to predict the field size. However, you may
be able to place more characters on a line.
Monarch offers software to convert TrueType

fonts into
printer fonts that can be interpreted by Monarch® MPCLII
printers. Optional font ROMs are also available for these
printers. Call your Monarch Representative for more
information.
