Downloading TrueType Fonts (9840/9850)
The printers can also accept downloaded TrueType fonts. The
MONARCH® MPCL
Toolbox (
Font Utility)
is available on our
Web site and converts TrueType fonts to Hex or Run-Length
encoding for the printer. Previously, the printers could accept a
TrueType bitmap font that was converted to a bitmapped file using
the
Font Utility
. However, you were limited to a particular
character set and specific point size.
When downloading a TrueType font, you download the entire font.
You cannot specify a subset (particular characters or point size)
of the font. This allows you to print a variety of Code Pages with
International (Turkish, Latin, Spanish, etc.) characters. TrueType
fonts are designed to be regionally specific; therefore, all code
pages may not be supported in a given font.
These font files are large and may image slower than bitmap
fonts. The size of the font file, in bytes, is the minimum amount
of memory you must have available for fonts in the printer’s
downloadable fonts buffer.
You may need to reconfigure the printer’s memory to use
downloaded TrueType fonts. After reconfiguring memory, resend
the font, format, and batch packets. See "Defining the Memory
Configuration Packet" in Chapter 2 for more information. Also,
Chapter 2 lists some special considerations when defining
memory for downloaded TrueType fonts.
