MPCLII Optional Fonts

Chapter 1. Introduction

This manual applies only if you have purchased optional ROM

fonts for your printer.

The fonts described in this manual were designed to be used

with any MPCLII (Monarch® Printer Control Language version

II) printer. Be sure you understand the information in the

MPCLII Packet Reference Manual before you read this manual.

About this Manual ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

This manual provides the information you need to use any one

of the available ROM sets of predefined fonts on your tags or

labels. This manual includes print samples for each available

font family.

For information on incorporating ROM fonts into your tag or

label designs, see the MPCLII Packet Reference Manual.

Sample formats using ROM fonts are shown in Appendix B,

"Sample Formats."

If you wish to use a combination of fonts other than those

described in this manual, contact your Monarch Sales

Representative. Customized ROM font sets can be created to

meet your needs.

Terms to Know –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Proportional

spaced fonts

All characters have different widths and

are difficult to center justify.

ROM Fonts These are stored on a ROM chip which is

installed in your priner. They cannot be

erased.

Scalable (Vector)

fonts

These fonts reside in the printer’s RAM or

in a ROM chip. Changing the point size

and magnification prints a smooth font.

There is no jaggedness at any point size,

because the font is created from an

equation every time it is used.

Chapter 2. Using ROM Fonts

This chapter describes

!how to use ANSI characters with ROM fonts.

!the available ROM fonts.

!ordering information for additional ROM fonts.

Optional fonts are available in one of several ROM sets.

Refer to the following tables to locate the style for your chosen

font.

Fonts 1-6 and 12 use the ANSI character set. Fonts 7-11 use

the non-standard character sets shown in Appendix A,

"Character Sets."

Point sizes are approximate. A 12-point character is 12 points

wide. There are 72 points to an inch, so there would be six

12-point characters to an inch. Use these point sizes to

determine which fonts will fit on your format.

The quality of your printed fonts is affected by print speed,

head energy, and the quality of your stock. To maximize the

quality of printing, you may wish to use a premium quality

stock. Contact your Monarch Sales Representative for

information about "premium" supplies. To improve the

appearance of your fonts, slow down the print speed. Refer to

your MPCLII Packet Reference Manaul to adjust the print

speed.

nCheck your bar codes when you change your print speed to

ensure an in-specification bar code.

2-1

Using ANSI Characters ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

To use one of these characters in your format, press and hold

the Alt key and type in the character codes for your chosen

character using the numeric keypad. To determine the

character code, add the column number and row number for

the character. For example, to produce the ÿ character, you

would press Alt 255 (column 15 + row 240). Keep in mind

that the character may appear differently on your screen than

it may appear when printed, because screen fonts and printer

fonts are not necessarily the same.

Refer to the chart on the following page for the available ANSI

characters.
