Header for SD Card
As discussed in Downloading Files to the SD Card on page 223, the process
to copy TrueType fonts to the
SD card can be employed from a PC or laptop
by copying the target font file (*.ttf) onto the SD card root
directory. The SD
card can then be placed in the printer and used accordingly.
Labeling Applications
A TrueType font can be downloaded through several labeling applications,
such as Codesoft, Loftware,
and Bartender. Contact the appropriate company
for more details.
Select and Print Downloaded TrueType Fonts
After downloading the TrueType font using any of the following methods, you
can access the downloaded
TrueType font by using the command as
described in the PGL Programmer’s Reference Manual.
To Print ASCII Characters
You can print characters from your font using the currently selected character
set. You can also select a
new character set using the ISET command.
Example:
~CREATE;FORM
FONT;NAME ARIAL.TTF
ALPHA
10;10;3;3;$01234$
STOP
END
~EXECUTE;FORM;1
To Print All Characters
You can print all of the characters in your font using UTF-8. You must have a
UTF-8 datastream to print.
Example:
~CREATE;FORM
ISET;’UTF8’
FONT;NAME ARIAL.TTF
ALPHA
10;10;3;3;$UTF-8
data$
STOP
END
~EXECUTE;FORM;1
Demo Facility
To exercise the function of a Printronix printer in an environment where there
is no host computer system
available, you may need to execute a demo test
file from the menu system. When executed, the demo test
file will run through
the emulations as if the host computer sent the file. Once completed, it will run
the file
again until terminated.
This section describes how to download, configure, execute, and terminate
the demo. Demo files are
treated as other User Flash Files and therefore are
preserved across downloads by default.
