Monospaced Font Magnification; Proportional Font Magnification - Avery Dennison ADTP1 Reference Manual

M o n o s p a c e d F o n t M a g n i f i c a t i o n
Monospaced characters occupy the same amount of space within a magnification. Use
monospaced fonts for price fields and data to list in a column. Decide how wide and tall the
characters should appear on the labels.
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.
Example
14 (Standard font dots) x 5 (magnification) = 70 + 3 (default spacing between characters). There
are 73 dots in the Standard font at 5x.

Each character in a proportionally spaced font is a different height and width. More characters
may be placed per line. Experiment with these fonts and adjust field measurements as
necessary. The bitmapped fonts (either monospaced or proportional) appear jagged when
magnified. The magnification range is 1 to 7.
To calculate other font widths, multiply the font dots (3 dots for Minimum, 13 dots for Average, 22
dots for Maximum) by the magnification.
Example
13 (Average font dots) x 5 (magnification) = 65 dots in an average letter of the CG Triumvirate™
Typeface Bold at 5x.
