System submenu. One of the files displayed should include file_name3.
Downloading Files to the SD Card
SD files can be utilized by the printer and certain emulations such as PGL. Since the SD file format is an
industry standard, downloading files and fonts to the SD card does not require special facilities within the
printer. This allows the user to copy files from their PC or laptop to the SD card as well as copy printer
files on the SD card to their PC or laptop.
NOTE: The printer will only locate files stored on the root directory of the SD card. The name of the file
within the SD card root directory is the name shown in the SD File System submenu.
Alternatively, users can copy files from the Main File System to the SD card by using the "Copy to SD"
selection within the Main File System menu. Users can also copy files from the SD card to the Main File
System by using the "Copy from SD" selection within the SD File System menu.
PGL forms, fonts, and logos can all be read from and stored onto SD cards as described in the PGL
Programmer's Reference Manual.
IMPORTANT
The SD card must be installed at the time of power-up and cannot be removed until
the printer is powered off.
Using TrueType Fonts
TrueType fonts allow you to customize the look of your forms and labels. You can download TrueType
fonts purchased from various sources into your printer. The fonts are available for purchase on websites
such as www.fonts.com and www.myfonts.com.
The following sections discuss how to:
•
download TrueType fonts (page 237)
•
select and print downloaded TrueType fonts (page 239)
•
use TrueType fonts to print DBCS using UTF-8 (page 239)
IMPORTANT
Line Matrix printers use bitmap fonts for smaller characters (less than or equal to
2x2). Since TrueType fonts are scalable fonts, use these fonts for sizes greater
than 2x2.
Downloading TrueType Fonts
You can download TrueType fonts to your printer by using any of the following methods:
•
PTX_SETUP (page 236)
•
Web Page (page 234)
