5.8 Fonts + Layouts

Standard fonts are pre-loaded in the DEP printer memory.
For example: Helv10 or TmsRmn 12
All other fonts need to be downloaded. This applies even if it is just the font size that is
non-standard. See layout section on how to achieve this.
Note. ALL FONTS SHOULD BE DOWNLOADED
Large size and non-standard (complex script style) fonts take along time to download
and are not able to be downloaded during run time (Envelopes will arrive at the DEP
input sensor before all the print data has been sent and fail to print (NO DATA error))
NTL recommends to use layout two to pre-download all possible print characters into
the printers buffer.
This must match the fonts, size used in layout 1
Regardless of the font being used it is essential that layouts are defined so that the
font data is downloaded to the DEP before processing envelopes commences
With this version four additional layouts need to be defined. These allow the inserter to
control what is printed on each envelope.
When the NTL Generic template is used the four additional layouts are automatically
created.
Layout 1 Main Layout.
This is the main layout and used in normal operation. This layout contains all of the
information to be printed on the envelopes. This layout can be customised to meet the
customer's requirements.
Layout 2 Font Data Layout. Used to download all fonts used.
This layout contains all of the font data (font type and size) for all text. You need a
complete font set for each variant of font being used, including italics, bold, underlined,
etc.
All characters are shown here in a text box. The characters are in the same font style
and size as the characters used on layout 1.
If the font type and size are not the same as that offered in the NTL Generic template
(Verdana 14 point) then change the font on this layout by highlighting the text box and
choosing the correct font/size
