Appendix P

International Language Print Capability (ILPC)

Programming Examples

ILPC (if equipped) allows the printing of non-English character sets, available with European
language support (CG TIMES), KANJI language support, Chinese language support
(SIMPLIFIED GB) and Korean Hangul. All of the features are embedded in the printer
resident firmware and accessible through DPL thus eliminating excessive download time of
bitmapped characters. Using scalable technology licensed from AGFA, this firmware allows
users to print smooth characters in sizes from 4pt (1.4 mm) to 999pt (350 mm) in over 40
languages. Consult Appendix I for code page selections. Specific details regarding which
characters are supported in each option can be obtained through Datamax-O'Neil Technical
Support.
ILPC - CG TIMES
The CG Times is a single-byte scalable font consisting of four typefaces in 38 Western
European languages. This contains over 900 unique characters in each of the four typefaces
from the CG Times typeface family, Normal, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic. Single-byte scalable
fonts are selected using a print format record (see Generating Label Formats and Appendix
H for details).
Scalable CG TIMES Font Code ("eee" field):
SA0 -CG TIMES
SA1 -CG TIMES ITALIC
SA2 - CG TIMES BOLD
SA3 - CG TIMES BOLD ITALIC
