Software Command Syntax

ESC & 0

 

Load Font

1B 26 00

hex

27 38 0

decimal

 

<ESC>&<0> is used to load a font to the printer flash PROM. The font is placed in the first free position. The printer indicates that storage is complete by operating the presenter motor for a short period of time. The font position is determined by the order that the fonts are loaded into the printer.

A kiosk printer font file consists of a header containing data describing the font as well as data for each individual character in the font.

Fonts can be designed with the FastFont application included with Toolbox and can be loaded or deleted using the Toolbox application. The fonts loaded are not used by the Windows driver, so it is not necessary to load fonts into the printer to use the Windows driver.

For complete specification of the font format, refer to Font Loading on page 71.

Note • The available font memory is printed on the self-test printout. A maximum of 8 fonts may be loaded (numbered 0 to 7). If you attempt to load a font that is larger than available memory or attempt to load more than 8 fonts, the font loading command will not load the font.

 

 

Note • The Toolbox application can be used to load new firmware.

<ESC>&F temporarily sets all parameters to predefined default values that are stored in the firmware. To make the default values permanent, store them in the EEPROM with command <ESC>&<4>.

Unless the parameters are stored, a reset command or power cycle will return the parameters to the settings stored in the EEPROM.
