Color
When this option is selected, the label’s color can be changed using the value of a preset com-
munications address. Set a valid color code (0 to FF) in the communications address.
PT Fonts
Raster, vector, scalable font, and 7-segment fonts can be displayed on PTs.
Raster fonts display the font itself as a bitmap and can be used for all functional objects that display
characters.
Vector fonts display multiple points that show coordinates of characters and the border that connect
those points. Vector fonts can only be used only for buttons, lamps, multifunction objects, and labels.
A scalable font is a font that expresses character shapes as the coordinates of the base point and a
collection of lines.
The scalable font can be used for all functional objects that display text.
The 7-segment font uses a 7-segment LED-type font. The following characters can be displayed: 0 to 9,
A to F, the plus and minus signs (+ and –), periods (.), commas (,), spaces ( ), and colons (:).
The 7-segment font can be used for all functional objects that display text.
Raster Fonts
The following raster fonts can be used.

Vector Fonts
All vector fonts installed on the personal computer using CX-Designer can be used, e.g., Arial.
Vector fonts can be used when displaying labels for ON/OFF buttons, word buttons, command buttons,
bit lamps, word lamps, and Multifunction Objects, or when displaying fixed character strings using fixed
text strings.
