•
This section describes the supported commands.
•
Note that some operations with Zebra printers (Hereinafter referred to as "Zebra") differ from those
with Oki Data printers (including TPCL, hereinafter referred to as "Oki Data").
•
The operation of the commands that are not described here is not guaranteed.
•
For details of the commands, refer to the ZPL II manual.
•
The font names in the text (0 to 9, A to Z) follow the default values in the font conversion table
contained in ZDEFAULT.TXT.
8.1 ^A SCALABLE/BITMAPPED FONT
Format: ^Afo,h,w
f = Font name
A to Z, 0 to 9
Non-omissible
o = Font rotation
N : 0°
R : 90°
I
: 180°
B : 270°
When omitted: Value of ^FW
* The point of origin differs depending on the coordinate designated in ^FT and ^FO.
h = Character height (in dots)
Font 0:
10 to 32000 dots
* Through correction, the final size shall be in the range from 1 mm to 150 mm.
Other than font 0:
If the character height exceeds 9.5 times the font standard height, it is corrected to 9.5 times.
When omitted: Calculated from the width based on the ratio.
w = Character width (in dots)
Font 0:
10 to 32000 dots
* Through correction, the final size shall be in the range from 1 mm to 150 mm.
Other than font 0:
If the character width exceeds 9.5 times the font standard width, it is corrected to 9.5 times.
When omitted: Calculated from the height based on the ratio.
*1
While there existed a comma ',' between f and o in the old ZPL specification, the comma does not
exist in the ZPL specification. This shall comply with the ZPL specification only.
*2
If the lower-case alphabet for Font B are selected, they are converted to upper-case characters
before printing.
*3
When the OKI outline font is selected, the print image collapses if there exists other print data in the
printing area.
*4
When the character type is space (abnormal value) as in "^A o,h,w," it is deemed as "^Ao,h,w" for
operation as the space is deleted during receiving operation.
*5
The character width differs depending on the character type.
*6
The character size of 300-dpi Font E or Font H is smaller compared with the Zebra print result.
In the case of LE850.
When values are equal to or higher than "height 267 x width 130" for Font E and "height 195 x
width 124" for Font H, the size remains the same and the printed font is smaller compared with
the Zebra print result.
*7
When 0 x 1D or 0 x 1E data is printed with Font E, the characters are printed with different font from
that with Zebra.
If both height and width are omitted, the height is calculated from the value in ^CF.
If both height and width are omitted, the width is calculated from the value in ^CF.
