The scalable font is smooth at any point size. There are no jagged edges because the font is
created from an equation every time it is used. The field width varies with each letter.
When defining formats using scalable fonts, set the character rotation to 0 (it is not supported).
However, field rotation is supported for text or constant text fields using the scalable font. The
scalable font does not print a slashed zero.
Scalable fonts perform better in constant text fields, because those fields are imaged only once
per batch, not once per label as in text fields. The transparent overlay allows closer field
placement when using scalable fonts.
The height and width magnification are defined in point size. 72 points = one inch.
One inch = cell size. The cell size is the built-in space around the individual characters of the
scalable font. The point size range is 4 to 255. If the height and width are not set to the same
point size, the printed characters look tall and thin or short and thick, which allows for greater
flexibility in the appearance of the font.
The 72 point EFF Swiss Bold sample shows the one inch cell size.

TrueType fonts follow the TrueType outline font standard. These fonts are smooth at any point
size. There are no jagged edges, because the font is created from an equation every time it is
used. The height and width magnification are defined in point size.
72 points = one inch. One inch = cell size. The cell size is the built-in space around the
individual characters of the scalable font. The point size range is 4 to 255. The field width
varies with each letter. The printer accepts downloaded TrueType fonts.
Dow nloading TrueType Fonts
The MONARCH® MPCL™ Toolbox (Font Utility) is available on our Web site and converts
TrueType fonts to Hex or Run-Length encoding for the printer.
When downloading a TrueType font, download the entire font, not particular characters or one
point size. A variety of symbol sets can be printed with International (Turkish, Latin, Spanish,
etc.) characters. TrueType fonts are designed to be regionally specific; therefore, all symbol sets
may not be supported in a given font.
Save the fonts to flash memory for optimal performance with downloaded fonts. No memory
configuration packets are necessary since flash memory cannot be reallocated.
