Appendix O

International Language Print Capability (ILPC) Programming Examples

ILPC, offered as a field upgrade or a factory installable option, allows the printing of non-English character sets, available with Western European language support (CG TIMES), KANJI language support (GOTHIC B / GOTHIC E), and Chinese language support (SIMPLIFIED GB). All of the features are embedded in the printer resident firmware and accessible through DPL thus eliminating excessive download time of bitmapped characters. Using scalable technology licensed from AGFA, this firmware allows users to print smooth characters in sizes from 4pt (1.4 mm) to 999pt (350 mm) in over 40 languages. Consult Appendix I for code page selections. Specific details regarding which characters are supported in each option can be obtained through Datamax Technical Support at 407-523-5540.

ILPC - CG TIMES Option

The CG Times Option is a single-byte scalable font consisting of four typefaces in 38 Western European languages. This option contains over 900 unique characters in each of the four typefaces from the CG Times typeface family, Normal, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic. Single-byte scalable fonts are selected using a print format record (see Generating Label Formats and Appendix H for details).
