Monospaced characters occupy the same amount of space within
a magnification. Use monospaced fonts for price fields and data
you want to list in a column. Decide how wide and tall you want
the characters to appear on the labels. The following two tables
show the width and height of each of the monospaced fonts after
magnification.
This table includes the default (3 dots for Standard, 1 dot for
Reduced, 3 dots for Bold) spacing.

Only the 1x width can be scanned with the OCRA-like font. Using
a printhead with 203 dpi, the character widths are as follows: 7.9
(English), 20.1 (Metric), and 16 (Dots).
To calculate other font widths, multiply the font dots (14 dots for
Standard, 7 dots for Reduced, 24 dots for Bold) by the
magnification and add the default spacing (3 dots for Standard, 1
dot for Reduced, 3 dots for Bold) between characters.
