4.6.12 Font loading
The printer can store fonts in its flash PROM. The fonts are given font numbers when
they are loaded into the printer. The first font is assigned number 0 and the next font 1
etc. up to font 3.
The memory available for font storage is printed on the self test ticket. The number of
fonts that fit depends on the size of the font files.
You cannot erase a single font, but must erase all four fonts with
!H C E
, then reload the
fonts you wanted to keep.
Utility software for generation of SWF-font files and loading/erasing fonts is available on
the Swecoin web site. If you need to load fonts in a non-Windows environment, use the
!H C
command.
The time required for processing the font data that is loaded is typically 15–20 seconds
per font, excluding transfer time. During this time, any data sent to the printer will be lost.
NOTE! —
The font processing ends with a reset.
CAUTION! —
Loading to the flash PROM will erase the RAM completely since the
RAM is used during the loading process. Any print data residing in RAM
will thus be lost.
4.6.13 Logotypes
Logotypes can be stored in the flash PROM of the printer and printed on demand. The
memory available for logotype storage is printed on the self test ticket. The number of
logotypes that fit depends on the size of the font files.
You position and print a logotype with the command
!F L
.
LOADING
Windows software that converts black and white BMP bitmap files to logotypes and load
them into the printer is available on the Swecoin web site. If you need to load logotypes in
a non-Windows environment, use the
!H L
command.
The time required by the printer to process logotype data, excluding transfer time from the
PC, is typically 15 to 20 seconds, per logotype. During this time, any data sent to the
printer will be lost.
ERASING
All logotypes are erased with the
!H L E
command.
CAUTION! —
Loading to the flash PROM will erase the RAM completely since the
RAM is used during the loading process. Any print data residing in RAM
will thus be lost.
