Loading
The printer can store 8 fonts in its flash PROM. 256 kB is available for font storage. The font
size is fixed
3
, so you must load one font file for each character size you require. The fonts are
given font numbers when they are loaded into the printer. The first font is assigned number 0
and the next font 1 etc. up to font 7. The font number parameter number 14 of the default
parameter setting will be used when no font selection command has been received (see
).
You cannot erase a single font, but must erase font 4-7 with command <ESC>&D, or all eight
fonts with <ESC>&C, then reload the fonts you wanted to keep.
Windows software for font generation and management is available on the Zebra web site. If
you need to load fonts in a non-Windows environment, use the <ESC>&<NUL> command.
The time required for processing the font data that is loaded is typically 15–20 seconds per
font, excluding transfer time. During this time, any data sent to the printer will be lost.
3. Multiple height and width commands can be used on all fonts.
Note •
The font processing ends with a reset. The presenter motor runs momentarily to
indicate that the printer is ready to be used.
Caution • Loading to the flash PROM will erase the RAM completely since the RAM is
used during the loading process. Any print data residing in RAM will thus be lost.
