User-Defined Fonts

User-defined fonts (UDFs) can be downloaded to the 4100 printer and stored in
the battery backed static RAM. Font ID numbers 3 to 6 and 8 to 19 are reserved
Fr Goth
for user-defined fonts.
To download a bitmapped font, first enter the "T" to create a new font. The font
is identified by its ID number and optional eight-character ASCII name. You
specify the base width and height of the font with "x" and "y" commands. The
"z" command selects the intercharacter gap. Each character is identified by the
"t" command followed by the "u" command with accompanying bitmap data.
For proportional fonts, the width of each individual character can be defined
with the "Z" command.
In 86XX Emulation mode, the printer receives downloaded fonts in the same
manner as the 8636 and 8646 printers. Characters are created column by
column, from the top of the column downward. In 86XX Emulation mode, each
byte of data represents 1 bit in the bitmap. The following example lists the
command and data required to define a font with the two characters "$" and
"i."
