codes. N=0001 is a sequence number in hex and is not used in controlling character

Custom Fonts
The EPIC 3000 supports TrueType fonts. There are several companies that will provide

(toll-free 1-800-424-8973, directly at 1-781-970-6020), or the United Kingdom (Free
Phone 0800 371242, direct +44 (0)1737 765959.)
Internal Fonts
The EPIC 3000 is provided by default with a standard WGL4.0 outline-based font, and
several bitmap fonts. Optionally the WGL4.0 font may be replaces with a GB18030
stroke-based font. Additional user defined outline or stroke fonts may be used as
required.

Monotype. This is a fixed-pitch font that produces good results when compared to
legacy bitmap fonts. As another alternative, the printer may be ordered with a variable-
pitch font, which will allow variable-pitch printing.
Font Storage
The EPIC 3000 supports a Flash file system used to store fonts, custom graphic and
custom macros. A file system interface is provided for this system, where the host
