You can use a font packet to add or clear downloaded fonts from memory, upload your font buffer, font data, or the cell size information for a particular font. The font packet is useful when you are downloading fonts. If you are using downloaded fonts, the font number and the number of bytes each downloaded font uses is listed.

This packet does not list the number of bytes the standard printer fonts use.

If you are creating fonts, you need to have font data included with this packet. Software is available to download from our Web site to create the font data and packet.
