Appendix G: Specifications for Internal Fonts, Bar Codes and Graphics

NOTE: If you are connecting your printer to a Windows-based PC, this section does not apply. However, if you are connecting the printer to a host-based system using a "legacy" programming language, this section will be useful in understanding how to make the printer compatible using one of the two built-in programming languages.

Two distinct printer programming languages - PPLA and PPLB

-are built into Cyclone. Each has a different definition for fonts, barcodes and graphics. These programming languages enable your host to communicate with the label printer and perform many functions.
