Printing in Chinese Fonts
The information that follows provides details on how to print us-
ing Chinese fonts on the ZQ300 Series printers.
Note: This printer ships in line print mode from the factory. It
has the GB18030 encoding pre-selected at start up and has the
GBUNSG24.CPF font preselected at start up. You can directly
send GB18030 encoded text to the printer and it will print to the
printer without any modications to the settings. If you prefer
to use the UTF-8 encoding rather than GB18030, issue the
following command:
! U1 ENCODING UTF-8
There are two options to print Chinese fonts: UTF-8 or
GB18030. To activate one of these modes, select the control
language that you will create your label in, which in this case is
CPCL only.
To create your label in CPCL, you need to add one of following
two commands to your label in order to enable Chinese printing:
• For UTF-8, use ENCODING UTF-8 or COUNTRY UTF-8.
• For GB18030, use ENCODING GB18030 or COUNTRY GB18030
Next you need to select the correct font to print in Chinese.
The following fonts are provided for use in Chinese as follows:
• GBUNSG24.CPF (24x24 pixel bitmapped font)
• GBUNSG16.CPF (16x16 pixel bitmapped font)
