ASCII Text

Description Renders an ASCII text string to the image print buffer. See Text (Fonts) on page 28 for discussion on text handling in Page Mode programming.

Asian language EPL2 Page Mode printers have special firmware and printer (PCBA) memory order options to support the large Asian character (ideogram) sets.

The Latin (English, etc.) font sets (1-5, a-z, and A-Z) are single-byte (8 bits per byte) ASCII character maps. The Asian characters are double-byte mapped characters. The printed Asian character is dependent on the double-byte ASCII values.
