The CGN parameter is a numeric entry that determines the representation and size of
embedded font and bar codes as well as the memory location of graphic images that have
been selected by the TCI parameter.

The Model 324M and 424M printers provide seven resident Helvetica style 203 dpi

Downloadable Fonts and Graphics
When selecting downloadable fonts and graphics using TCI value of "7" or "8", the CGN
denotes the memory slot (1-255) where the font or graphic has been stored. See Chapters
6 and 7 for additional information regarding downloadable fonts and graphics.
For example: If a graphic had been stored into RAM (volatile) memory slot 1 (see Chapter 5
for additional information), the proper TCI would be "8" and the CGN value would be "1".
