Fonts and Your Printer

P1016701-001 Rev. B KR403 Hardware Integrator Guide 9/24/2010
Identifying Fonts in Your Printer
Fonts and memory are shared by the programming languages in the printer. Fonts can be
loaded in many memory areas in the KR403 printer. ZPL programming can recognize EPL
and ZPL fonts. See the respective programmer guides for more information on fonts and
printer memory.
• To manage and download fonts for ZPL print operation, use ZebraNet Bridge.
• To display all of the fonts loaded in your KR403 printer, send the printer the ZPL
command ^WD. See the ZPL Programmers Guide for details.
• Bitmap fonts in the various printer memory areas are identified by the.FNT file
extension in ZPL.
• Scalable fonts are identified with the.TTF,.TTE or.OTF file extensions in ZPL.
• The six fonts LMu.FNT through LMz.FNT are EPL Line Mode fonts and are not
available for use.
Localizing the Printer with Code Pages
The KR403 printer supports localization with common international character map code
pages.
• For ZPL code page support, including Unicode, see the ^CI command in the ZPL
programmer’s guide.
Asian fonts and Other Large Font Sets
Asian language pictographic fonts have large character sets with thousands of characters
that support single language code page. In order to support the large Asian character sets,
the industry adopted a double-byte (67840 maximum) character system instead of the
single-byte characters (256 maximum) used by Latin based language characters to
address large font sets. In order to address multiple languages with a single font set,
Unicode was invented. A Unicode font supports one or more code points (relate these to
code page character maps) and is accessed in a standard method that resolves character
mapping conflicts. ZPL supports Unicode and has support for the large pictographic
double-byte character Asian font sets.
Asian language support requires additional memory support by the KR403 printer
configured with the Full Flash Memory factory option. The number of fonts that can be
downloaded is dependent upon the amount of available flash memory not already in use
and the size of the font to be downloaded.
