Using International Fonts
Version 6.0 or greater (9855/9860) and version 3.0 or greater (9825) have a
new font rasterizer, which allows for an additional symbol set
(110 – Unicode UTF-8). To use this symbol set, you must download an
International TrueType font. An International TrueType font containing
Chinese or Japanese characters requires the high memory option
(purchased separately). The high memory option is only available with the
9855/9860 printers. An International TrueType font containing Arabic
characters may not require the high memory option.
Note: Because the 9825 printer's memory is limited, only Latin fonts
(smaller than 256K) may fit in the printer's flash memory. There is
not enough memory to store an Asian font. For more information
about downloading a font to flash memory, refer to the Packet
Reference Manual available on our Web site.
To use International fonts, consider the following information:
All fonts contain an internal character mapping. The mapping is
organized by one or more standards, such as BIG5. These mapping
standards can provide over 65,000 characters, which are not represented
in this manual. The printers support several mapping standards:
Unicode (UCS-2)
BIG5
GB2312
SJIS
Specify a symbol set based on the characters to print and one that is
compatible with the font's character mapping. For example, to print
Japanese characters, select symbol set 932 (Japanese Shift JIS) and a
font compatible with that symbol set. See "Selecting a Symbol Set" for
more information.
To enter batch data, use the method specified by the font's character
mapping and a compatible symbol set.
Selecting a Symbol Set
Specify a symbol set based on the characters to print and one that is
compatible with the font's character mapping. The symbol set parameter
identifies the character mapping used in the text field or constant text field,
for example, Unicode, BIG5, etc. If no symbol set is selected, the default
symbol set (Internal Symbol Set) is used.
