To Print Double Byte Characters (DBCS)
You can print double byte (DBCS) characters using the ISET or SYMSET
command to select DBCS character set with a non-DBCS printer (without a
DBCS font cartridge). The following conditions must be met:
1. The font must be a TrueType font which supports DBCS characters.
2. The font must have the characters arranged in Unicode order.
3. The printer's DRAM, Flash memory, or EMC must have enough memory
to hold the font file.
To check for the available amount of Flash memory, select

PRINTER SETUP
To check for the available amount of EMC memory, select PRINTER

SETUP EMC FFS
You can also print a configuration printout for memory availability,
see "CONFIGURATION MENU" on page 141. For information on EMC,
see "Expanded Memory Cartridge (EMC)" on page 228.
When all conditions are met, you can access the DBCS TrueType font by
using the FONT;NAME command with ISET;11xx or FONT;SYMSET 11xx as
described in the PGL Programmer's Reference Manual.
Example:
~CREATE;FORM
ISET;1100
FONT;NAME dbcsfont.ttf
ALPHA
10;10;2;2;$DBCS data$
STOP
END
~EXECUTE;FORM;1
NOTE: Some DBCS fonts may require a larger buffer size to print, otherwise
it will print as blank. To adjust the Max Font Buffer and Max Cache
Memory value through the front panel, select PRINTER
