Note
Fonts are either fixed or proportional in spacing. This printer supports
fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter) and proportional
fonts, including CG Times, Arial
®
, and Times New Roman.
Fixed-space fonts are best used in applications such as spreadsheets
and databases, where it is important for columns to line up vertically.
Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in word processing
applications.
