Screen Fonts
-
Screen fonts are bitmap fonts, which are formed by grouping dots together. Because of this, screen fonts appear jagged on your computer screen when you enlarge or reduce them. It is recommended that you install as many different sizes
as possible for each font to avoid such jagged appearances. Screen fonts are provided for this printer in 10, 12, 14, 18 and 24 point sizes.
