5.9 Downloading Fonts
Fonts (KANJI, HANGUL and CHINESE) can be downloaded and stored in a printer module.
Font files are identified by part number and are protected by lock bits, which unlocked by
entering the correct 6-digit code via the Control Panel.
The printer can be easily and quickly updated:
A. Identify then download onto your computer’s hard drive the desired file for the printer
from our web site at http://www.datamaxcorp.com
B. Call to get the unlock code and enter it into the printer. Turn OFF the printer.
C. Turn OFF the printer. Connect your computer to the printer via the parallel or USB port,
and then turn ON the printer.
D. Using the Windows print driver, open the Printer Properties box and select the 'Tools'
tab. Then, from the 'Action' drop-down box, select 'Send File to Printer.'
E. When prompted, browse to the downloaded font file on your computer's hard drive (or
floppy disk) and then send that file to the printer.

If protected, the destination module must first be unprotected.
With a successful download and installation, the printer will reset. Installed font files can be
identified by part number and appear on the configuration label (and system display). The
following table lists possible font downloading messages:

error has occurred. Confirm the font version and try the
download again; however, if the problem continues call for
