Fonts and Your Printer
The GC420 printer supports your language and font requirements with a variety of internal fonts,
The GC420 printer’s font capabilities are programming language dependent. The EPL™ programming language provides for basic bitmapped fonts and international code pages. The ZPL™ programming language provides advanced font mapping and scaling technology to support outline fonts (TrueType™ or OpenType™) and Unicode character mapping as well as basic bitmapped fonts and character code pages. ZPL and EPL programming guides describe and document the fonts, code pages, character access, listing fonts, and limitations for their respective printer programming languages. See the printer programming guides for information on Text, Fonts and Character support.
The GC420 printer includes utilities and application software that support font download into the printer for both printer programming languages.
