Selecting the Printer Language

TrueType Fonts and Memory Usage

Intermec Printer Language (IPL) Developer's Guide
This section includes information to keep in mind if you are using
TrueType fonts with your Intermec printer.
Since TrueType fonts may be very complex, they tend to image slower than
bitmap fonts. You cannot subset a TrueType font. You must download the
entire font to the printer.
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.
Your TrueType fonts must be compatible with Microsoft Windows. To
generate bitmap fonts from TrueType fonts for a particular language, you
must run PrintSet under that language version of Microsoft Windows. You
can run PrintSet Version 2.0 and later under Windows 95/98/NT 4.0/
2000/XP.
When you install a TrueType font, you must select the correct printer
language. To choose the correct language, use the IPL command "Printer
Language, Select." If the language setting you have chosen does not work,
use the default language setting.
To install a TrueType font in your printer, the printer must have enough
memory available to contain the entire font file. The size of the TrueType
font file, in bytes, is the minimum amount of memory you must have
available in your printer. Bitmap fonts generated from TrueType files will
vary in size, depending on the point size and number of characters you
create. The larger the point size you choose, the larger the resulting file size.
