Downloading User-Defined Fonts

You can download user-defined fonts (UDFs) to the 4400 printer and store
them in non-volatile memory. Although the printer reserves 16 font ID
numbers, 3 to 6, an d8 to 19) for UDFs, memory constraints may limit the
number of fonts you can store.
Intermec's PrintSet software provides the easiest way to download fonts to the
printer form a PC. If you do not have your 4400 printer connected to a PC, you
can use PrintSet to create a *.PCF file for downloading at a later time. You can
also use IPL commands to edit the *.PCF files.
If you have not done so, install the PrintSet disk provided with this guide.
PrintSet uses a standard Windows user interface and includes online help.
Refer to the online help for specific instructions on using PrintSet.

Downloading Bitmap Fonts

Use PrintSet to select and download bitmap fonts.
Bitmap fonts can be memory intensive. You can use PrintSet to define a subset
of that font (such as only the number). Then you can download that subset and
save storage space on the printer.
The 4400 printer accepts two formats for bitmap fonts: 1 bit per byte, or 6 bits
per byte. PrintSet automatically converts all bitmap fonts to the 6 bits per byte
format.

Lines and Boxes

You can use the command set to define fields that appear as lines or as boxes
when you print your label. Use the rotation commands to determine whether a
line or box will appear vertically or horizontally and the height and width
commands to set the length and thickness of the lines.
The following figure shows a label where vertical and horizontal lines are used
to separate data types and make the label easier to read.
