Data filters
If a data filter is enabled, then the incoming forms job is run through that filter before being
processing by the DLE.
Forms Card font support
Forms Card has three types of font support.
• Supported—For supported fonts, Forms Card uses the appropriate font file.
• Recognized—For recognized fonts, the Forms Card applies a similar font file.
• Not Supported—Forms Card does not print these fonts.
Simplified Chinese is a supported DBCS (Double Byte Character Set) language. Two fonts are
supported—SimHei and SimSun.
For more information on supported and recognized fonts and font files, see the appendix “Forms
