Considering Fonts
When working with fonts, you have three considerations: font
appearance, font size (bitmapped), and font spacing
(monospaced or proportional). See Appendix B, "Fonts," for
samples of each font.
Interchanging Packets
You can use an MPCLII format that was designed for another
MPCLII printer on a 9416 printer. The format may appear smaller
(fields will be shorter), because most of the 9416 printers use a
203 dpi printhead. However, an optional 300 dpi printhead is
available. If you use a 203 dpi format on a 300 dpi printer, it may
appear almost 50 percent smaller.
Using the Format Worksheet
The Format Worksheet is divided into sections that list the field
types. Each section has boxes to fill in with parameters that
define your format. A format worksheet is included in Appendix
D, "Format Design Tools."
Filling in the Format Worksheet
Decide what type of field to use on your label.
1.
Make a copy of the Format Worksheet.
2.
