Copying TrueType Fonts (Display-equipped printers with SDIO/USB Host)
To copy TrueType fonts (.TTF) to an external module for use by the printer:
1. Use Windows Explorer to download the font to the module.
2. Add a 2 digit DPL font ID to the file name (50-99, 9A-9Z, 9a-9z) then change the file
extension to .dtf (for example, arial50.dtf); see Scalable Font Downloading in the Class Series
2 Programmer’s Manual.
3. Install the module in the printer.
4. Ensure that your label formats use the same font ID as assigned in Step 2.
Removing Fonts (Display-equipped printers)
When deleting a plug-in, all files contained within that directory will also be deleted; see Section 4.5,
PRINTER OPTIONS / MODULES / DELETE FILE for details.
