  • Page 17: Printing Labels With Ipl Commands

    Follow this basic procedure to print bar code labels using IPL: 1 Use IPL commands to design the format for the bar code label. If you do not specify a format, the printer assumes you want to use the default format (format 0), which is stored permanently in the printer.

    Chapter 2 — Designing Bar Code Labels Introduction to Label Formats To print a label on an Intermec printer, you must create a label format, send the format to the printer, send data to fill in the fields in the format, and then print the label.

  • Page 25: Human-Readable Fields

    See Appendix B, “Character Sets,” for the complete character set for each font. Intermec printers support nine different international character sets for each command set mode. The printer may also contain character sets for IBM translation and code pages.

  • Page 26: Line And Box Fields

    To download graphics or characters to the printer, you need to use: • the Intermec PrintSet application. PrintSet converts the graphic into the appropriate format for your printer. • a third-party label-generation application. These applications convert your graphics file to a format that your printer can interpret, and send the file to the printer.

  • Page 27: Numbering Fields In A Format

    About Interpretive Fields and Field Locations Each bar code field can have an interpretive field associated with it. For example, bar code field B33 would have an interpretive field I33.

    Program mode. You can modify just the incorrect format fields instead of having to download the entire format again. When the printer is in Program mode, it uses a field pointer to point to the field to be modified. The pointer continues to point to the most recently selected field until you select a different format or field.

    406 dpi Note: On the 4400, 7421, and PC41 printers, be sure to use the “Label Width, Set” command to set the printer for the correct label width, or the y setting will be incorrect. Intermec Printer Language (IPL) Developer’s Guide Chapter 2 —...

  • Page 30: Rotating Fields

    Field Positioning: This illustration shows the relative positions of four fields with different origin points. Note: If you are operating your printer in Emulation mode, the dot sizes are doubled (101 dots per inch or 4 dots per mm), so the origin for 1 inch from the top of the label and 0.5 inch from the left side is o25,51.

  • Page 31: Scaling Fields

    Magnifying Fonts and Character Fields Internal printer fonts already have specific sizes. For example, the letters in font c0 are 7 dots wide by 9 dots high, with a 1-dot gap between characters.

  • Page 32: Magnifying Bar Code Fields

    You need to place the printer into Print mode before adding these command strings. For bar code data, you place the printer into Print mode, and then add command strings that include the data to be printed.

  • Page 52: Learning About Fonts

    About Bitmap Fonts Bitmap fonts can be used on any Intermec printer. These fonts typically print quickly, require less memory than outline fonts, and print at the highest quality in a specific size. Bitmap fonts are memory intensive when defined as large characters.

  • Page 53: Choosing A Font

    The easiest way to download fonts to the printer is with the PrintSet application (v2.0 or later). Intermec printers require that bitmap fonts be either one bit per byte or six bits per byte. PrintSet automatically converts all bitmap fonts into the six bits per byte format.

  • Page 54: Using Ipl Commands To Download Fonts

    2 Include IPL commands to instruct the printer what to do with the font data. For help, see the following example. 3 Send the commands to the printer using one of the methods described in Chapter 1.

  • Page 55: Using Truetype Fonts

    Note: When using TrueType fonts, your printer must be configured to operate in 8 bit mode. Intermec also recommends the following printer configuration: highest supported baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF flow control.

  • Page 56: Installing Asian Fonts

    Note: Before you begin, you need a serial connection between your desktop PC and your Intermec printer. For help, see your printer user’s manual. To download and install code pages 1 From the main Intermec web page, choose Support > Downloads. The Downloads page appears.

  • Page 57: Installing Asian Bitmap Fonts

    Simplified Chinese GB Japanese Shift-JIS You may need to install more flash memory on the printer to use these fonts. The amount of memory you need depends on the size and number of fonts you want to install. For more information on downloading bitmap fonts to your printer, see the PrintSet documentation.

  • Page 58: Licensing Your Fonts
