Font

The style of font for your format. Choices include CG
Triumvirate Bold 6.5, 8, 10, 12, 18, or 22 point; CG
Triumvirate Bold Condensed 6.5, 8, 10, 12, 18, and 22 point;
and Letter Gothic 6.5 and 9 point.

Height
Magnification

Height magnifier for the selected font. Use a magnifier of 1
with proportionally spaced fonts, because characters lose
smoothness at higher magnifications. The range is 1 – 7.

Width
Magnification

Width magnifier for the selected font. Proportionally spaced
fonts do not have a set width. The range is 1 – 7.

Font Color

Depending on your printer’s configuration, enter the color of
the selected font. For more information about your printer’s
configuration, see Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer.”

Solid black print should not exceed 30% on a given square
inch of the label, or printhead life may be decreased. There
are two types of field color overlay attributes:

Transparent The overlay field (text or

constant text) does not block

out or “erase” existing fields.

Opaque

The overlay field blocks out or

“erases”

existing

fields.

Field placement is an important consideration when using field
color attributes. If a line field is defined before the overlay
(text or constant text) field, the line field is blocked out by the
overlay field, depending on the overlay field's color attribute.
If a line field is defined after the overlay field, the line field is
not blocked out by the overlay field, regardless of the overlay
field's color attribute.
Choices include Black Opaque, White Opaque, Black
Transparent and White Transparent.

Justification

Alignment of the text within the field. Choices include Left (L),
Right (E), and Center (B). Fonts 1012 and 1013 (Letter
Gothic 6.5 and 9 pt) default to L (left), regardless of selection.
