Working with Fonts

EPSON BarCode Fonts (Windows Only)

EPSON BarCode Fonts let you easily create and print many types of bar codes.

Normally, bar code creation is a laborious process requiring you to specify various command codes,

such as Start bar, Stop bar and OCR-B, in addition to the bar code characters themselves. However,

EPSON BarCode Fonts are designed to add such codes automatically, allowing you to easily print

bar codes that conform to a variety of bar code standards.

EPSON BarCode Fonts support the following types of bar codes.

Bar code Standard EPSON BarCode OCR-B Check Digit Comments

To use EPSON BarCode Fonts, your computer system should meet the following requirements:

Computer: IBM PC series or IBM compatible with an i386SX or higher CPU

Operating system

Hard disk: 15 to 30 KB free space, depending on the font.

EPSON BarCode Fonts can only be used with Epson printer drivers.

Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Server 2008, or Server 2003

Installing EPSON BarCode Fonts

If the Epson Installation Program screen does not appear automatically, click Computer (for Windows 7, Vista or Server 2008) or click the My Computer icon on the desktop (for Windows XP, 2000 or Server 2003). Right-click the CD-ROM icon, click OPEN in the menu that appears, then double-click EPSetup.exe.

Printing with EPSON BarCode Fonts

Follow the steps below to create and print bar codes using EPSON BarCode Fonts. The application

featured in these instructions is Microsoft WordPad. The actual procedure may differ slightly when

printing from other applications.

Working with Fonts 7

2. Select the characters, then select Font from the Format menu.

3. Select the EPSON BarCode Font you want to use, set the font size, then click OK.

Epson Font Guide

Note:

If there is an error in the bar code character string, such as inappropriate data, the bar code will be printed as it appears on the screen, but it cannot be read by a bar code reader.

Notes on inputting and formatting bar codes

Please note the following when inputting and formatting bar code characters:

Working with Fonts 9

Epson Font Guide

❏ Do not apply shading or special character formatting, such as bold, italic, or underline.

❏ Print bar codes in black and white only.

❏ When rotating characters, only specify rotation angles of 90˚, 180˚, and 270˚.

❏ Turn off all automatic character and word spacing settings in your application.

❏ Do not use features in your application that enlarge or reduce the size of characters in only the

vertical or horizontal direction.

❏ Turn off your application’s auto-correct features for spelling, grammar, spacing, etc.

❏ To more easily distinguish bar codes from other text in your document, set your application to

show text symbols, such as paragraph marks, tabs, etc.

❏ Because special characters such as Start bar and Stop bar are added when an EPSON BarCode Font

is selected, the resulting bar code may have more characters than were originally input.

❏ For best results, use only the font sizes recommended in “BarCode Font specifications” on page

10 for the EPSON BarCode Font you are using. Bar codes in other sizes may not be readable with all bar code readers.

Note:

Depending on the print density, or on the quality or color of the paper, bar codes may not be readable with

all bar code readers. Print a sample and make sure the bar code can be read before printing large

quantities.

❏ Spaces in Code39 bar codes should be input as “_” underbars.

❏ When printing two or more bar codes on one line, separate the bar codes with a tab, or select a font

other than a BarCode Font and input the space. If a space is input while a Code39 font is selected, the bar code will not be correct.

Printing font samples

If your printer has a control panel, you can print samples of the fonts available in each mode by using

the control panel’s Information Menu. Follow these steps to print font samples.

1. Make sure that paper is loaded.

2. Make sure the LCD panel displays Ready or Standby, then press the r Right button.

3. Press the d Down button to select the font sample for the appropriate mode.

4. Press the r Right button to print the selected font sample sheet.

Note:

You can print a font sample sheet from a Web browser if your printer supports EpsonNet Config with

Web Browser.

Adding more fonts

You can add a wide variety of fonts to your computer. Most font packages include an installer for this

purpose.

See your computer documentation for instructions on installing fonts.

Selecting fonts

Whenever possible select fonts in your application. See your software documentation for instructions.

If you are sending unformatted text to the printer directly from DOS or if you are using a simple

software package that does not include font selection, you can select fonts using the printer’s control

panel menus or by using EpsonNet Config with Web Browser when in the PCL, ESC/P 2, FX, or I239X

emulation mode.

Symbol Sets

Introduction to symbol sets

Your printer can access a variety of symbol sets. Many of these symbol sets differ only in the

international characters specific to each language.

Note:

Since most software handles fonts and symbols automatically, you will probably never need to adjust the

printer’s settings. However, if you are writing your own printer control programs, or if you are using older

software that cannot control fonts, refer to the following sections for symbol set details.

When you are considering which font to use, you should also consider which symbol set to combine

with the font. Available symbol sets vary depending on which emulation mode you use and which font

you choose.

In the PCL5 mode

The following symbol sets are available in PCL5 emulation mode.
