Designation of Printer Font

It is possible to use the printer's resident fonts and bar code symbologies within any Windows application by
selecting the printer fonts like "TEC Kanji" for the data to be converted.
 Example of selecting a font on the application
Character font
Supplement:
• The name of the printer fonts (bar code or 2D code fonts) for the Toshiba TEC bar code printers starts with "TEC", like
"TEC Kanji". Although the "TEC ***" fonts do not appear as bar codes on the screen, they will be converted by the driver
into the desired bar codes.
• It is possible to expect an increase of the printing throughput if the printer font is used.
• Printer fonts (including bar code fonts) shown on the application screen look different from the actually printed ones in on
appearance and size.
• To use the TEC Kanji Outline fonts on the B-372, B-472, and B-872, separately sold fonts are required.
 Example of bar code font programming (Visual Basic 5.0/6.0)
In the case the registered bar code font name is "BarFont Code 39":
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Printer.FontName = "TEC-BarFont Code39"
Printer.FontSize = 36
Printer.FontBold = False
Printer.FontItalic = False
Printer.CurrentX = 1000
Printer.CurrentY = 1000
Printer.Print "1234567"
Printer.EndDoc
End Sub
Note: The Visual Studio.NET (VB/C#) or later does not support the above processing.
