Instruction manual

Using International Fonts
International fonts are available as bitmap or TrueType fonts. See "Bitmap
Font Information" or "TrueType Font Information" for more details. To use
these fonts, you must purchase the memory expansion option and download
the font to the printer.
Version 6.0 or greater (9855/9860) and version 3.0 or greater (9825) have a
new font rasterizer, which allows for an additional symbol set
(110 – Unicode UTF-8). To use this symbol set, you must download an
International TrueType font. An International TrueType font containing
Chinese or Japanese characters requires the high memory option
(purchased separately). The high memory option is only available with the
9855/9860 printers. An International TrueType font containing Arabic
characters may not require the high memory option.
Note: Because the 9825 printer’s memory is limited, only Latin fonts
(smaller than 256K) may fit in the printer’s flash memory. There is
not enough memory to store an Asian font.
To use International fonts, consider the following information:
¨ All fonts contain an internal character mapping. The mapping is
organized by one or more standards, such as BIG5. These mapping
standards can provide over 65,000 characters, which are not
represented in this manual.
The printer supports several mapping standards:
¨ Unicode (UCS-2)
¨ BIG5
¨ GB2312
¨ SJIS
¨ Specify a symbol set based on the characters to print and one that is
compatible with the font's character mapping. For example, to print
Japanese characters, select symbol set 932 (Japanese Shift JIS) and a
font compatible with that symbol set. See "Selecting a Symbol Set" for
more information.
¨ To enter batch data, use the method specified by the font's character
mapping and a compatible symbol set.
