Font Loading Command Functions

STX S Recall Global Data And Place In Field

Once a global register has been defined, its contents can be used as data in
other fields. When the printer receives the command <STX>Sn in a format
record data field, it will place data from the specified global register into the
data field, (see Label-Formatting Command G). Global registers contain the
data in the first A through P format record data fields.

STX T Print Time and Date

Time and date string data is selected by choosing the string character A
through Z and a through h to retrieve data from the printer’s internal clock.
The date string characters are not printed, instead the printed label will show
the corresponding print values.

The <STX>T may now be preceded by data to be printed/encoded and/or the
string may now be terminated by a <STX> command followed by data
terminated by a <CR>.

Font Loading Command Functions

ESC *c###D - Assign Font ID Number

This command is the first command required for downloading a font to either
RAM or Flash Memory modules. ESC represents the ASCII control character
27.

ESC )s###W - Font Descriptor

This command (typically first data in a font file) contains all of the information
about the font contained in the file. Different font generation software will
create different length header information, but the initial 64 bytes will remain
consistent with the PCL-4 (HP LaserJet II) format.

ESC *c###E - Character Code

This code is the ASCII decimal value corresponding to the next downloaded
character.

ESC (s#W - Character Download Data

This command contains all of the information for one downloaded character.
