Adding a Header/Manual Two-Key Download

To download a TrueType font to the printer through the manual two-key download mode, first add a header
to the font, then place the printer in Download mode and download the font. A TrueType font can be
converted to a downloadable format by appending a header to the font file using the cnvt2fls.exe utility
found on the http://PrintronixAutoID.com/support/drivers/
section.
Header for Main File System
1. Start a Command prompt window.
2. Copy (or unzip) cnvt2fls.exe and addtthdr.bat from the
website to your working directory (e.g., c:\download).
3. Copy the target TrueType font (.ttf) file to your working directory.
4. Start a Windows Command Prompt session.
5. Convert the TrueType font file .ttf (e.g., arial.ttf) to a downloadable format dwn with the following
command:
addtthdr filename <Enter>
where filename is the font name without an extension
(e.g., addtthdr arial).
This creates the file arial.dwn.
6. Place the printer in download mode as described in Manual Two-Key Download Sequence on page
215.
7. Send the file as described in Sending Firmware in Download Mode on page 216. Substitute the file
*.dwn (e.g., arial.dwn) in place of the firmware FILENAME.prg.
8. The process is complete when the file has successfully loaded into flash memory and the printer resets
itself.
9. Verify that the file is recognized and downloaded under the System > Flash File View submenu. One of
the files shown should include the original true type font name (e.g., arial.ttf).
