Chapter 8: Downloadable Fonts
The printer has 255 memory slots available for storing downloadable fonts and/or graphics.
The printer treats downloadable fonts just like the standard bitmapped font mentioned in
Chapter 5.
Both LaserJet™ and TrueType® fonts can be converted using the
“SFP2MIC.exe” or “TTF2MIC.exe” software utilities. Note: The “SFP2MIC.exe” program
uses the Portrait or 0 degree source rotation for both normal and rotated fonts.
Downloadable font fields use the same structure as the bit mapped fields with the only
difference being that the TCI must be set to an “8” for downloadable fonts and the CGN
refers to the memory slot location of the downloaded font.
8.1 Using the Font Conversion Utilities
The following section details the process required to convert and download fonts to the
printer. The conversion utilities “SFP2MIC.exe” and “TTF2MIC.exe” may be downloaded at
http://www.microcomcorp.com. These 16 bit DOS utilities convert
LaserJet™ SFP or
TrueType® TTF fonts into a format that is suitable for downloading to the printer.
8.1.1 SFP2MIC.exe Program
1. Run the SFP2MIC program from a DOS prompt.
2. Follow the on screen instructions and note the slot number where the image is saved.
The 322M uses the same font structure as the Model 412 printer. Select the Model
412 printer when converting fonts for the 322M printer.
3. Make sure the destination memory slot is clear. The ^D100 command can be used
to clear the printer’s memory.
4. Download the resulting file (filename N12 (normal rotation) or R12 (rotated)) file to
the printer.
5. Refer to section 6.3.5 for detailed information on printing images.
8.1.2 TTF2MIC.exe Program
1. Run the TTF2MIC program from a DOS prompt.
2. Follow the on screen instructions and note the slot number the image is saved. The
322M uses the same font structure as the Model 412 printer. Select the Model 412
printer when converting fonts for the 322M printer.
3. Make sure the destination memory slot is clear. The ^D100 command can be used
to clear the prin
ter’s memory.
