Note: The notation “<xx>” in this DPL file should be interpreted by the reader as
representing the hexadecimal value of the character sent to the printer.
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 Barcodes and Single and Double Byte Character Font Mapping for
more 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 Com-
mand (<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.
