SOFTWARE MANUAL C32
18 FONTS
The printer supports different font systems.
a. Mono space and proportional fonts
b. 8 bit fonts e.g. IBM II, Codepage 851 …...
c. Unicode font for the 'basic multilingual plane' (BMP0)
d. 16 bit font with automatic 8-16bit switch:
z.B. Chinese GB2312
e.
Arabian fonts, including writing from the right to the left
f.
Country specific fonts
The C32 system processes GeBE standard font files type AddOn, proportional as well a NOT proportional (that means,
even fonts where each character may have a different width). Fonts are stored as AddOns in the printer flash and supplied
with the font index in storage sequence. So the font stored in third place will have the font index 3 and can be addressed
with the command <ESC>P<3d>. The system font 0 with the size 8x16 is firmly stored in the firmware and cannot be
changed.
18.1 FONT SEQUENCE
If you wish this specific font in the second place you need to clear the fonts and insert them in the desired sequence or
you must switch the fonts in the applied font patch tables in the parser modules. Each printer emulation has its own font
patch table in the parser modules (parameter x,4). With the help of the patch table the sequence of fonts, as stored in the
flash, can be changed. The fonts 0 - 31 can be switched to other positions. Up from the 32nd stored font switching is no
longer possible. This gives the basic table the following structure:
[0,1,2,3,4........,31] 32, 33, 34 ….........255
[Command]
The command "select font 1" addresses the first font in the AddOn flash memory
Font 0 is filed as resident in the firmware.
[Example]
If you want the fourth font be addressed with the command
“select font 1" you must enter the following sequence for the C32 mode
in
parameter 14,4
:
<RS>[1:14,2:0,4]
Font 4 is now switched to position 1. Then may follow 2, 3, 4 ... and so on.
Font 1 can no longer be addressed in this mode, unless you enter:
<RS>[1:14,2:0,4,2,3,1,5]
Font 4 and 1 switched positions, not in the flash, but as an ordinal number.
