Kit
Introduction
EasyCoder 501 E can be fi tted with an optional fi rmware package,
that allows the printer to use scaleable outline fonts in Speedo
and TrueType formats.
Speedo and TrueType are standard outline font formats for personal
computers developed by Bitstream, Inc. and Apple Computer, Inc.
respectively. There are thousands of different fonts available from
Intermec at a low cost. The fonts come as fi les in PC format and can
be downloaded to the printer via the Kermit communication protocol
(see later in this chapter) or be copied to a memory card, which is
inserted in the printer's optional memory card adapter.
Scaling Fonts in Intermec Fingerprint
The Intermec Fingerprint statement FONT converts the selected
outline font according to the specifi ed characteristics to Intermec's
bitmap font format, after which it can be used as any other installed
bitmap font (also see FONT statement in Intermec Fingerprint
v6.14, Reference Manual).
The outline font can by converted in regard of:
• Name
• Size
• Range of characters
• Direction
• Slanting
• Rotation
• Character map table
After the conversion the bitmap font may either be saved in the
battery backed-up part of the RAM memory or in a no-save area
(that is, the bitmap font will be erased at power-off).
