ILPC-CHINESE Option
The Chinese Option is a double byte scalable font supporting Simplified GB Chinese. In the double byte
format the printer recalls one character printed from every two 8-bit bytes sent from the host. Double byte
scalable fonts are selected using a print format record (see Generating Label Formats and Appendix H for
details).
DPL Big 5 Encoding Support: With the ILPC Chinese option, the printer firmware supports font files
that are encoded for the GB Character Map and the Big 5 Character Map. The resident Asian font in the
printer is encoded in the GB Character Map. To utilize the Big 5 Character Map, the user must download
a font file that is Big 5 encoded. The font file downloaded must be of a size compatible with the internal
module size available or of a size compatible with an external (plug in) module where applicable. Printing
characters from the Big 5 encoded font file is accomplished by:
1. Setting the character mapping with a System Command or Label Format Command (
yUB5
, respectively).
2. Setting the ‘b’ field = ‘9’ and ‘eee’ field = ‘Unn’, where ‘nn’ is equal to the Font ID number selected
for the Big 5 encoded font file downloaded.
3. Selecting string data corresponding to the Big 5 Character Map.
