^CW
Font Identifier
Description:
All built-in fonts have a one-character identifier. The ^CW command assigns a single alphanumeric
character(A through Z and 0 to 9)to a font stored in DRAM, memory card, EPROM or Flash.
IF the assigned character is the same as that of a built-in font, the downloaded font is used in place
of the built-in font. The new font will be printed on the label wherever the format calls for the
built-in font. If used in place of a built-in font, the change is only in effect until power is turned off.
If the assigned character is different, the downloaded font is used as an additional font. The
assignment will remain in effect until a new command is issued or the printer turned off.
Format:^CWa,d:o,x

a = letter of existing font to be substituted, or new font to be added
