Printing Characters
❏ Printing characters as a graphic image
Uses Windows fonts. The features are as follows:
•
You can apply italic and other character modifications, and freely change the font size.
•
You can print almost exactly what you see on the screen of the application.
•
Because the printerʹs resolution is 180 dpi, the characters smaller than 10 points may become
blurred.
❏ Printing characters using a Printer Font
Uses the Printer Font which is the font set built into the TM printer. The features are as follows:
•
There are two types of European fonts; FontA/FontB.
FontB is a narrow width font, so more characters can be placed in a line.
FontA12/FontB12 are vertically long fonts, so you can get the characters more noticed than
the others without decreasing the number of characters.
•
Supports many code pages
•
Small characters (FontA11/FontB11) do not become blurred. They can be clearly printed.
•
They are monospaced fonts. You can calculate how long the character strings go, which
helps you determine the layout.
The Printer Fonts are provided by size. Selecting a Printer Font type also selects a font size.
The table below shows each Printer Font's character size and available number of characters
per line

FontB11
•
Print results may look slightly different from what you see on your application screen.
•
Bold and italic settings on your application are not reflected to print results. Underlines are
printed but they will not be placed as you specified.
•
You cannot use both Printer Font and Barcode (or 2D Code) Font in the same line.
•
Under .NET environment, you need to make the True Type Font Substitution setting
73. The setting makes the substituted Windows fonts unusable for printing. Vertically or
horizontally long fonts such as FontA12/FontA21 cannot be used.
