Chapter 3 - Working with Fonts and Graphics 5 Open a HyperTerminal session to the printer. Note: Configure the HyperTerminal session for these parameters: • Baud rate: 19200 • Parity: None • Data bits: 8 • Stop bits: 1 • Flow control: XON/XOFF 6 From the Transfer menu, select Send File. The Send File dialog box appears. 7 In the Name field, locate your file, and then click Send. The code page is downloaded to the printer. Installing Asian Bitmap Fonts Instead of using Asian scalable fonts, you can use PrintSet to convert the scalable fonts to bitmap fonts and download them to the printer. Asian bitmap fonts are supported by the 3240, 3400d, 3400e, 3440, 3600, 4420, and 4440 printers, generally require less memory, and do not require code page tables like the equivalent scalable fonts. The next table lists the approximate amount of memory required to store Asian bitmap fonts. The memory required depends on the printhead installed in your printer. Approximate Sizes - Asian Bitmap Fonts TrueType Font Point Size Korean KSC-5601 12 pt 16 pt 24 pt Traditional Chinese Big 12 pt 5 16 pt Simplified Chinese GB 12 pt 16 pt Japanese Shift-JIS 12 pt 16 pt Approximate Size (400 dpi printhead) 1.6MB 2.7MB 5.8MB 3.1MB 5.25MB 3.5MB 6.2MB 3.9MB 6.75MB Approximate Size (200 dpi printhead) 0.5MB 0.8MB 1.5MB 0.9MB 1.6MB 1MB 1.8MB 1.1MB 2MB You may need to install more flash memory on the printer to use these fonts. The amount of memory you need depends on the size and number of fonts you want to install. For more information on downloading bitmap fonts to your printer, see the PrintSet documentation. Licensing Your Fonts You are responsible for licensing the fonts that you purchase and install in your printers. Contact your font vendor for licensing information.
