Stroke weight 

Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the lines which make up the printed characters. Characters of normal 
line thickness are called medium. Thicker lines are referred to as bold or black and thinner lines as light or thin. 
You can specify 15 different stroke weights - 0 denotes medium weight, negative values signify thinner strokes, 
and positive values signify bolder (thicker) strokes. If you have the bold font available that matches your font 
designation, a stroke weight selection of 1 to 7 will produce bold text. Likewise, for light or thin text you would 
need to make the requisite light or thin font available for the stroke weight selection to have any effect. 

5.1.23.

Typeface 

Typeface refers to the designed style of the characters. Commonly known typefaces include Times, Helvetica, 
Univers and Palatino. The printer has its own resident typefaces. When selecting a particular typeface ensure 
that it meets all your other specified criteria, otherwise the printer will substitute a font of a different typeface 
that can satisfy the other, higher priority criteria, such as style and stroke weight.
