(FE) Font Emulation – This command allows font substitution for all internal fonts,
allowing a new default font to be defined without changing the host DPL data
streams. Selecting a default font that supports a desired character set could match
with third party software to print native characters without modifying the PC drivers.
In other words, match the PC font with the Printer Font then no interpretation would
be required by driver or printer. Depending on host drivers, the user may have to
disable Symbol Set commands and modify the Default Symbol set.
(FH) Fault Handling – This command determines the level of user intervention and
the disposition of the label being printed when a fault condition (ribbon out, media
out, etc.) occurs.
