28 IPL Programmer’s Reference Manual
The printer supports nine different international character sets for each
command set mode. In Emulation mode, the international character
substitution is compatible with Intermec 8636/8646 printers. In Advanced
mode, the substitution complies with the ISO standards. The printer may
also contain character sets for IBM translation and code pages.
The internal bitmap fonts of the printer include:
• Standard bitmap fonts measured in dots
• Bitmap fonts recognized by optical character recognition (OCR)
programs
• Bitmap fonts measured in point sizes
• Outline fonts
• Bitmap monospaced fonts
Line and Box Fields
Use the command set (see Chapter 7, “IPL Command Reference”) to
define line or box fields on a label. You can use the commands to
determine whether a box or line appears vertically or horizontally and to
set the line length and thickness.
The following example uses vertical and horizontal lines to separate fields
on a label and uses a box field to make a label border. This format uses
bold text to highlight the lines that contain line or box fields. This label
format prints the label shown on the next page.
