Pre-image A way to optimize the printer, because it
images the fields while data is collected.
After the last field is imaged, the label
prints almost immediately.
Proportionally
Spaced Fonts Characters have different widths and are
difficult to center justify.
Scalable Fonts Reside in the printer’s RAM or in a ROM
chip. Changing the point size and
magnification prints a smooth font. There
is no jaggedness at any point size,
because the font is created from an
equation every time it is used.
Soft (Downloaded)
Fonts Reside in the printer’s RAM. They can be
erased or overwritten.
Volatile RAM Contains information that is LOST on
power-down.
