58 Internal Fonts, Bar Codes and Graphics
Appendix G: Specifications for
Internal Fonts, Bar
Codes and Graphics
NOTE:
If you are connecting your printer to a Windows-based PC, this
section does not apply. However, if you are connecting the printer to
a host-based system using a "legacy" programming language, this
section will be useful in understanding how to make the printer
compatible using one of the two built-in programming languages.
Two distinct printer programming languages - PPLA and PPLB
- are built into Cyclone. Each has a different definition for
fonts, barcodes and graphics. These programming languages
enable your host to communicate with the label printer and
perform many functions.
