  • Page 3 IPL commands chapter of your printer user’s manual. Please keep this addendum with your printer user’s manual. It is Intermec’s goal to help you easily localize your 3440 printer with the font set you choose. To support this goal, Intermec printers now use GLOBE (Global Languages On Bar Code Equipment) technology to download and access single and double-byte international character sets.
  • Page 4 If you wish to install a TrueType font in your printer, you must have enough memory available to contain the entire font file. The size of the TrueType font file, in bytes, is the minimum amount of memory you must have available in your printer.
  • Page 5 Although Intermec provides you with a tool to download international characters sets, it is your responsibility to license the fonts that you purchase and install in your printers. Contact your font vendor for licensing information. These companies resell TrueType fonts that work with the 3440 printer:...
  • Page 6 1. Load PrintSet on your PC. 2. Enter PrintSet and make sure that the communications settings are correct. Note: You must configure the printer and PrintSet for 8 data bits when downloading double-byte fonts. 3. From the PrintSet main menu, click the Font Setup button:...
  • Page 7 3. From the Location list box, choose the font number you wish to assign to the font. In Intermec printers, fonts are identified by their font number. 4. Above the Local Memory box, click Add. You will see that your font number now appears in the Local Memory box.
  • Page 8 When you download bitmap characters to the printer, you must select the size of the characters. Make sure that you select the size you want to use in your formats. If you magnify the character size in the printer, the edges of the characters will be jagged.
  • Page 9 6. From the Location list box, choose the font number you wish to assign to the font. In Intermec printers, fonts are identified by their font number. 7. In the Local Memory box, click Add. You will see that your font number now appears in the Local Memory box.
  • Page 10 5. Use the DOS copy command to copy the .PCF file to your printer. For example, type: COPY CHINESE.PCF COM1 When you install a TrueType font, you must select the correct printer language. You use the Intermec printer language (IPL) command, Printer Language, Select, to choose the correct language.
  • Page 11 Notes: You can only create QR symbols up to 3550 characters. Maxicode is a fixed-size 2D symbology in which the printer ignores height and width magnification. This symbology is made up of offset rows of hexagonal elements, each of which is 35 mils wide by 40 mils high, arranged around a bull’s-eye finder pattern.
  • Page 12 Note: The header only applies to Structured Carrier Message (Modes 2 and 3). It is an optional field. If it is present, the printer moves it to the beginning of the secondary message. It is not encoded as part of the primary message. The primary message consists of the zip code, country code, and the service class.
  • Page 13 Program mode or Test and Service mode. When printing a label with direct graphics, you must have enough dynamic RAM installed in your printer to contain the entire label. Intermec printers normally reuse image bands which enables you to print long labels with standard RAM.
  • Page 14 In cases where patterns do not exist, you can send uncompressed bitmap data to the printer. You can mix raw bitmap data and RLE commands to ensure the most efficient way to download a graphic. The RLE file may contain five types of data, each of which is one byte long: Immediate commands are recognized and executed as regular IPL commands or protocol commands.
  • Page 15 = 1 7 bits per byte of nibblized data. When you select m = 0, the printer parses subsequent data streams as RLE commands. The printer still recognizes immediate IPL commands. Non- immediate commands are not parsed. The printer resumes normal IPL parsing when it receives an end of bitmap RLE command.
  • Page 16 0 to 8191. The change origin command tells the printer where to place the graphic on the label. If you do not sent the command, the printer uses the default setting of 0,0. You can use the command to place different sections of the RLE graphic in different parts of the label.
  • Page 17 0x27[ data ] Notes: The printer only uses the first 7 bits of the data byte. If you set a bit to 1, it prints black. The most significant bit prints farthest to the left. Data order runs from right to left, so the first dot in a column is the least significant bit of the first data byte.
  • Page 18 Your Y coordinates now start at 0 from the bottom left corner and increase in size as the data loads. So, the printer starts loading data for the complicated graphic at X0,Y450 and loads up to X0,Y425. Likewise, the data for the line starts loading at X19,Y450 and loads up to X19,Y0.
