The black and white bitmap that represents the character must be converted to
hexadecimal code. The bitmap is described line by line from left to right, starting
from the upper left corner of the character cell. A white dot is represented by 0 and
a black dot by 1. Each byte (that is 8 dots) will thus form a binary number, that
is converted to hexadecimal code. The last byte in a line is padded with zeros to
complete the line and data byte. The data is the sent to the printer as a continuous
string of hexadecimal byte representations in line order.
Soft fonts can also be downloaded to the printer using for example Intermec
LabelShop or Intermec InterDriver.
Soft fonts can be listed using the EI command.
