Printing Dbcs Characters - Lexmark MX6500e 6500e User Manual

Byte 12 Bit 0 UCC/EAN FNC1:
If this flag is B'1', this QR Code symbol will indicate that it conforms to the UCC/EAN application
identifiers standard. Byte 12 Bit 1 must be B'0'.
Byte 12 Bit 1 Industry FNC1
If this flag is B'1', this QR Code symbol will indicate that it conforms to the specific industry or
application specifications previously agreed with AIM International. An application indicator must
be specified in Byte 13. Byte 12 Bit 0 must be B'0'.
Byte 13, Application indicator for Industry FNC1
When the Industry FNC1 flag (Byte 12, Bit 1) is B'1', this parameter specifies an application indicator.
When the Industry FNC1 flag is B'0', this parameter is ignored and should be set to X'00'. Exception
condition EC-0F12 exists if an invalid application-indicator value is specified.
E. Printing DBCS Characters
Several languages, such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, have fonts so large that it takes two bytes of
information to represent each character. These fonts are referred to as Double Byte Character Set (DBCS)
fonts. Information on DBCS fonts can be found in the following technical references.

DBCS resident fonts are not included in the Card for IPDS. DBCS fonts required to print a job must be
downloaded with the job from the host. DBCS fonts that are marked eligible for capture on the host can be
captured to disk or flash in the printer. Once captured, the fonts are treated as resident fonts and do not
need to be downloaded with each job. This reduces network traffic when this font is requested for use in
printing of future jobs. Capturing the fonts to disk is recommended. Due to the large size of the fonts, only
a few fonts can be saved on user flash before the flash becomes full. See section Preparing Fonts for
Capture on page 70 for information on how to capture fonts.
Select the following settings to enable DBCS characters to print:
1. IPDS Emulation – Select the Resident emulation. The 3812/3816 emulation does not support
DBCS printing.
2. Host Resolution – Select Auto or the resolution that matches the raster fonts stored on the host. If
you need to use 300 dpi and 240 dpi raster font resources in the same job, select Auto.
DBCS fonts require a large amount of printer memory for storage and printing during an IPDS session.
Depending on the language, one font can require up to 15 MB of printer memory for temporary storage
while printing a job. Because of the additional memory requirements to store and print DBCS fonts,
additional memory may be required in the printer.
