PDF417 | Installation Guide |
Font Selection
As mentioned earlier, the PDF417 encoder is shipped with all available printer fonts. Supported platforms include IBM AFP, Xerox, and Hewlett Packard PCL printers.
The following tables list all of the supported platforms and printers. The font name is the name of the font file in the distribution kit. Refer to the PDF417 Programming Guide for more information on setting the code points (specifically, the PdfFontInitRender function for C/Setting Parameters for COBOL ). Failure to set the code points in the program can cause unpredictable output and can even cause printer reboots.
The information has been broken into two tables; one for UNIX and PC Platforms (ASCII platforms) and a second for IBM S/370, S/390, and AS/400 systems (EBCDIC platforms).
