ILPC-CHINESE Option
The Chinese option is a double-byte scalable font supporting Simplified GB Chinese. In the double-byte
format, the printer recalls one character printed from every two 8-bit bytes sent from the host. Double-
byte scalable fonts are selected using a print format record (see Generating Label Formats and Appendix
H for details).
DPL Big 5 Encoding Support: The printer firmware supports font files that are encoded for the GB
Character Map and the Big 5 Character Map. The resident Asian font in the printer is encoded in the GB
Character Map. To utilize the Big 5 Character Map, the user must download a font file that is Big 5
encoded. The font file downloaded must be of a size compatible with the module size available. Printing
characters from the Big 5 encoded font file is accomplished by:
1. Setting the character mapping with a System Command or Label Format Command (<STX>yUB5 or
yUB5, respectively).
2. Setting the ‘b’ field = ‘9’ and ‘eee’ field = ‘Unn’, where ‘nn’ is equal to the Font ID number selected
for the Big 5 encoded font file downloaded.
3. Selecting string data corresponding to the Big 5 Character Map.
