Printing Truetype® Fonts; Licensing Your Fonts - Monarch 9855 Operator's Handbook Manual

P r i n t i n g T r u e T y p e ® F o n t s
TrueType® fonts are available on this printer. TrueType fonts are scalable and the characters
print smoothly, without the jagged edges you see on bitmap fonts. When downloading a
TrueType font, you download the entire font. You cannot specify a subset (particular
characters or point size) of the font.
Note: These font files may be very large and image slower than bitmap fonts. The size of
the font file, in bytes, is the minimum amount of memory you must have available for
fonts in the printer's memory.
Your System Administrator may need to reconfigure the printer's memory to use downloaded
TrueType fonts. Refer to the optional Packet Reference Manual (available on our Web site) to
learn how to reconfigure the printer's memory. After reconfiguring memory, resend the font,
format, and batch packets.
This printer can accept a TrueType font file that has been converted to Hex or Run-Length
encoding using the version of Font Utility. Font Utility is available on our Web site. Font
Utility is a part of the Monarch MPCL Toolbox Utilities. You can also use a wide variety of
Code Pages with International (Turkish, Latin, Spanish, etc.) characters. Using TrueType
fonts allows you a greater range of fonts for your formats. TrueType fonts are designed to be
regionally specific; therefore, all Code Pages may not be supported in a given font. Check
with your System Administrator if you need to use TrueType fonts.

We provide the Font Utility to help you create and download international code
pages/characters. However, it is your responsibility to license the fonts you purchase and
download to your printer. Contact your font supplier for licensing information.
