IPL Programmer’s Reference Manual 15
Some TrueType fonts require large amounts of dynamic RAM to operate.
If you receive an error code 37 when printing a label using TrueType
fonts, you may need to purchase expanded dynamic RAM.

Creating Bitmap Fonts From TrueType Fonts
To create bitmap fonts from TrueType fonts, you must run PrintSet under
the correct language version of Windows. For example, to create a
Traditional Chinese font, you must run PrintSet under Traditional
Chinese Microsoft Windows. In addition, you must install the font using
Microsoft Windows in order for PrintSet to correctly convert it to a
bitmap font.
The advantage of bitmap fonts is that they may require less RAM and the
printer can image them faster. When you download bitmap characters to
the printer, you must select the size of the characters. Make sure that you
select the size you want to use in your formats. If you magnify the
character size in the printer, the edges of the characters will be jagged.
