Formatting Guidelines
Your ML380 printer can be used to create all sorts of documents. If youre going to use the type
fonts available with your printer, you should adhere to a few simple rules of typesetting in order to
gain maximum impact from the printed page.
1.Dont mix a lot of different typefaces. Choose one or two to use in your document and stick to
them. A hodge-podge of typefaces not only looks awful, but also can obliterate your intended
message. Worse yet, it can be so discouraging to readers that they just skip over it entirely!
2.Give the proper respect to each element on the page. Titles and headlines should be printed in
large, bold face type. Copy should be printed in smaller, regular weight type, preferably one which
is different from the headlines.
3.Have mercy on your readers_always leave sufficient white space! Simple white space (space on
the page where there is no printing) can be most effective in highlighting elements on a page, as
well as in providing a quick visual organization to the page. Consider what it would be like to read
a page with no breaks between paragraphs, headings, etc.
