Appendix Q

International Language Print Capability (ILPC) Programming Examples


ILPC, offered as a field upgrade or a factory installable option, allows the printing of non-English
character sets, available with European language support (CG TIMES), KANJI language support
(GOTHIC B and GOTHIC E [available on the E-Class and non-display M-Class printer models]), Chinese
language support (SIMPLIFIED GB) and Korean Hangul. All of the features are embedded in the printer
resident firmware and accessible through DPL thus eliminating excessive download time of bitmapped
characters. Using scalable technology licensed from AGFA, this firmware allows users to print smooth
characters in sizes from 4pt (1.4 mm) to 999pt (350 mm) in over 40 languages. Consult Appendix I for
code page selections. Specific details regarding which characters are supported in each option can be
obtained through Datamax-O’Neil Technical Support.

TIMES Option


The CG Times Option is a single-byte scalable font consisting of four typefaces in 38 Western European
languages. This option contains over 900 unique characters in each of the four typefaces from the CG
Times typeface family, Normal, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic. Single-byte scalable fonts are selected using
a print format record (see Generating Label Formats and Appendix H for details).
