One standard font encoding is Unicode. Unicode is a double-byte (16-bit) encoding
that includes many characters used throughout the world. Each Unicode index
refers to a particular character, just like the index in a code page. Other double -
byte font encodings exist for specific characters, such as BIG5 (Traditional
Chinese), GB2312 (Simplified Chinese) and SJIS (Japanese Shift-JIS).
Double-Byte Bitmap Fonts
Double-byte bitmap fonts, like single-byte bitmap fonts, are smaller and may image
faster than TrueType fonts. When you create a double-byte bitmap font, you must
specify a particular point size and code page. The batch data character mapping
must match the code page of the font. For example, a BIG5 bitmap font must use
BIG5 batch data.
Double-Byte TrueType Fonts
Asian TrueType font files are large and may image slower than bitmap fonts. The
size of the font file, in bytes, is the minimum amount of memory you must have
available for fonts in the printer's downloadable fonts buffer. Due to the size of
these files, you must store these fonts in the optional 8-Meg SIMM board. For
more information about using flash memory, see “Using Flash Memory.”
