But, it isnot clear. Unable to differentiate numbers with this font.

Please suggest me some suitable fonts which will be more readable when printed in Dot Matrix Printer.

hi ,

you can use verdana or Calibri or tahoma font. You are not define which printer will you use?

Good to check by open word doc type something and select that row and go to font. There you can check or even different -2 font style's row you can type and just print one page for better idea.

Here is some suggestion:-

I hope dot matrix always go well with Courier/Courier New fonts.  I don't  know about the font size.

Thanks for all your answers.

I've found aa appropriate font which works fine with dot matrix printer.

That font is "Consolas".

I tried several fonts, but three of them worked efficiently. 

  1. SaxMono
  2. Consolas
  3. Fake Receipt

SaxMono is probably the best among all. text with SaxMono font printed very quickly and also it looked nice on paper.
