STX i Scalable Font Downloading
The command structure for downloading both IntelliFont (.CDI) and TrueType (.TTF) scalable fonts
(font files may be single-byte or double-byte character systems) is as follows
:
Syntax:
<STX>imtnnName<CR>xx…xdata…
Where:
m
- Memory Module Designator to save this font to; see Appendix J.
t
- Type of scalable font being downloaded:
I = IntelliFont
T = TrueType
nn
- Two-digit font reference ID. Valid range is 50-99, 9A-9Z, 9a-9z,
(base 62 numbers).
Name
- The title, up to 16 characters, for this font.
<CR>
- 0x0d terminates the Name.
xx…x
- Eight-digit size of the font data, number of bytes, hexadecimal,
padded with leading zeros.
data
- The scalable font data.
Sample:
<STX>iET52Tree Frog<CR>000087C2data...
This sample downloads a TrueType font to module ‘A’, assigns it the font ID of 52 and the name
“Tree Frog”. The size of the font data is 0x87C2 bytes.
STX J Set Pause for Each Label
This command causes the printer to pause after printing each label and is intended for use with the
peel mechanism or tear bar when the Present Sensor option is not installed. After removing the label,
the PAUSE Button must be pushed in order to print the next label. (The printer must be reset to clear
the <STX >J command.)
Syntax:
<STX>J
STX k Test RS-232 Port
This command instructs the printer to transmit the character Y from the printer’s RS-232 port.
(Failure to receive a ‘Y’ could indicate an interfacing problem.)
Syntax:
<STX>k
Printer response:
Y
