ILPC - Chinese
The Chinese Option is a double byte scalable font supporting Simplified GB Chinese. In the
double byte format the printer recalls one character printed from every two 8-bit bytes sent
from the host. Double byte scalable fonts are selected using a print format record (see
Generating Label Formats and Appendix H for details).
DPL Big 5 Encoding Support: With the ILPC Chinese option, the printer firmware supports
font files that are encoded for the GB Character Map and the Big 5 Character Map. The
resident Asian font in the printer is encoded in the GB Character Map. To utilize the Big 5
Character Map, the user must download a font file that is Big 5 encoded. The font file
downloaded must be of a size compatible with the internal module size available or of a size
compatible with an external (plug in) module where applicable. Printing characters from the
Big 5 encoded font file is accomplished by:
1. Setting the character mapping with a System Command or Label Format Command
(<STX>yUB5 or yUB5, respectively).
2. Setting the “b” field = “9” and “eee” field = “Unn”, where “nn” is equal to the Font ID
number selected for the Big 5 encoded font file downloaded.
3. Selecting string data corresponding to the Big 5 Character Map.
