Introduction

B2. Fonts

Based on their storage mediums, the command set has defined 3 kinds of Fonts.

- Internal Fonts

- Soft Fonts

- Externally Stored Fonts

1. Internal fonts

Five kinds of internal fonts reside within the printers ROM, and unlike soft fonts, they cannot be deleted. Each

font has a unique ID number.

2. Soft Fonts

Soft fonts can be downloaded from the host through application software. If the internal font cannot meet the

requirements, soft fonts are another possible solution.

Advantages of Soft Fonts:

- Saves memory space (graphics occupy more memory space)

- Better performance (may be called repeatedly)

- May carry out the automatic Increase/Decrease function

- Similar to internal fonts, they can be scaled, rotated or reversed

- May be saved into either RAM or Flash memory (permanent storage)

- May be deleted, when no longer required or the storage capacity is insufficient

Soft fonts may be downloaded, as per your individual needs. Each soft font has a unique ID number. And based

on the ID number, you may download, choose or delete the soft fonts as required. The soft font ID number may

range from A to Z.

3. Externally Stored Fonts

The font board and/or font carrier are optional items. The ID number reserved for external storage fonts ranges

from 7 to 10. 7 and 8 are for Chinese character Fonts, 9 and 10 are for Korean Character Fonts.
