Fonts Scaling - Intermec EasyCoder 501 E Installation & Operation Manual

Chapter 9 Intermec Shell Startup Program
Font Scaling
(option)
90
EasyCoder 501 E can be fi tted with a "Scaleable Fonts Kit", that
allows the printer to use scaleable outline fonts in Speedo and
TrueType formats.
The Intermec Shell startup program offers a convenient way of
scaling outline fonts. When a Scaleable Fonts kit is installed in a
printer, an additional menu will be displayed in Intermec Shell.
This new menu is inserted immediately after the "Test Label"
option and shows:
SHELL
FONT SCALING
Press <Enter> to use this facility, or <F5> to bypass.
PRINT:FONTLIST
1:SCALE 2:DELETE
This menu offers three options:
• Print a list of the outline font fi les stored in the various parts of
the printers memory ("rom:", "ram:", and "card1:") by pressing
the <Print> key.
• Scale an outline font by pressing <1>.
• Delete an already scaled font by pressing <2>.
Assuming you have selected to scale fonts and have pressed <1>, a
menu like this will be displayed:
SEL. FONT rom:
TT0630M .TTF
This menu is the fi rst in a stack of menus which shows all outline
font fi les. The text "rom:", "ram:", or "card1:" in the upper line
indicates in which part of the memory the fi le is stored. You can
browse through the stack in an infi nite loop by repeatedly pressing
the <F5> key.
If you want to see what the selected font looks like, press the
<Print> key for a printout sample.
Once you have made your choice, press <Enter>.
SELECT SIZE
_
Specify the height in dots of the bitmap font you want to create from
the outline font fi le. Type the desired value and press <Enter>,
Remember that large fonts require a lot of free memory.
