Installing Code Page Tables for Asian Scalable Fonts

Some TrueType fonts require large amounts of dynamic RAM to operate. If
you receive an error code 37 when printing a label using TrueType fonts,
you may need to purchase expanded dynamic RAM.
For the PD/PF/PM/PX series printers, you can purchase a font card that
includes scalable Chinese, Japanese, or Korean fonts. When you install the
font card in your printer, the fonts can be used immediately.
Note: The EasyCoder F4 does not support bitmap or TrueType Chinese,
Japanese, or Korean fonts.
For the 3240, 3400e, 3440, 4420, and 4440 printers, you can use PrintSet
2.1 or later to download Chinese, Japanese, or Korean scalable fonts to the
printer. You may need to install more flash memory on the printer to use
these fonts. The amount of memory you need depends on the size and
number of fonts you want to install. For more information on downloading
scalable fonts to your printer, see the PrintSet documentation.
When you download one of these scalable fonts, you must install the
necessary code page tables. For help, see the next section.
If you install a Japanese, Chinese, or Korean scalable font on a 3240,
3400e, 3440, 4420, or 4440 printer, you must also install the code page
tables. You can download code pages from Intermec's web site at
www.intermec.com. Follow the next procedure to download and install
code pages on your printer.
Note: Before you begin, you need a serial connection between your desktop
PC and your Intermec printer. For help, see your printer user's manual.
