Bitmapped Fonts
Reside in the printer’s memory. If the point size is changed, so has
the font. Magnifying these fonts causes jaggedness to occur.
Buffer
Storage area in the printer’s memory that holds specific data (images,
formats, etc).
EPC
The Electronic Product Code, which is a numbering standard for
items, similar to the UPC code for bar coding. The EPC is divided
into several sections: Header, Manager Number, Object Class, and
Serial Number. One of the memory fields reserved for EPC
programming. This memory is separate from the user memory and
the amount of EPC memory varies with the tag types.
Field
Can be text, bar codes, lines, boxes, constant, or non-printable text. It
is the result of a field definition.
Downloaded Fonts
Reside in the printers RAM and deleted when the printer is turned off.
Field Definition
Any string of parameters that pertain to one field. A field definition
begins with a field identifier (such as T, B, D, C, etc.).
T,1,10,V,250,50,0,1,1,1,B,C,0 |
Field Parameters
Parameters that apply to a field and are separated by commas. (In the
above example, B is a field element for black print on a white
