5 Open a HyperTerminal session to the printer.
Note: Configure the HyperTerminal session for these parameters:
• Baud rate: 19200
• Parity: None
• Data bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: XON/XOFF
6 From the Transfer menu, select Send File. The Send File dialog box
appears.
7 In the Name field, locate your file, and then click Send. The code page
is downloaded to the printer.
Instead of using Asian scalable fonts, you can use PrintSet to convert the
scalable fonts to bitmap fonts and download them to the printer. Asian
bitmap fonts are supported by the 3240, 3400d, 3400e, 3440, 3600, 4420,
and 4440 printers, generally require less memory, and do not require code
page tables like the equivalent scalable fonts.
The next table lists the approximate amount of memory required to store
Asian bitmap fonts. The memory required depends on the printhead
installed in your printer.
Approximate Sizes – Asian Bitmap Fonts
TrueType Font
Korean KSC-5601
Traditional Chinese Big 5 12 pt
Simplified Chinese GB
Japanese Shift-JIS
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 bitmap
fonts to your printer, see the PrintSet documentation.
