- The JP and US columns above indicate whether the font is available on JP and US drivers, respectively. A "OK" means that the font is available; an "NO" means that it is not available.
- Although the TM-L60II / J8000 driver is provided in both JP and US types, note that neither type supports the Myocho font.
- The "[RED]" indication means that the font prints in red ink.
- Fonts used with US drivers are either "non-extended" and "extended." (Extended fonts are marked by the "Ext." suffix in the table above.) If you are using an extended font, character codes 80H and above will print extended characters. If you are using a non-extended font, these codes are assigned to special printer functions (as described

The following printers support bar-code printing. TM-T285, TM-T88II, TM-T88IIR, TM-L6011, TM-L60, TM-H5000II, TM-J8000, TM-H6000, TM-U675
Bar-code printer drivers are available for each of these printers. To print a bar code on these printers, you simply select the font whose name corresponds to the desired bar-code type. Note that application editing windows will display text only; they w ill not display the bar-code image that will be produced on the printout.

[Note]
The drivers can print HRI characters together with the bar code. For inf ormation, see Section 3.3, "Special Functions," directly below. If you find that you are unable to print barcodes on Windows NT4.0,Windows2000, you can correct the problem by reducing the left margin to its lowest possible value. Sometimes the barcode may not be able to print continuously in Windows NT4.0 and Windows2000. You sould specify HRI characters each time this problem occurs.

4.3.Special Functions
The TM printer drivers can be used to execute a variety of special n on- prin tin g f u n ction s, as in dicated in th e table below. You can execute these functions by selecting the printer's special "control font" and then sending the appropriate character code to the driver. (Note that you cannot use the control font to print normal characters.) You can also execute these commands by issuin g codes 80H above w hen using non- extended printer f onts (all fon ts other than those marked by "Ext." in the printer font table in Section 4.1 above). But, The TM-U675/H6000 printer doesn't support.

"ControlA" font is provided as an inherent special function for the TM-U230.By using with a command defined file (TmCtrla.ini), you can designate a desired command string as the "ControlA" font arbitrary character (a character code with a range between 20 to 7F). Details on how to use this are as follows:
1. ControlA command defined files: [File Name] TmCtrla.ini [Installation destination] The printer processor folder for each OS: 95/98. . . The OS System folder NT/2K. . . The OS System32\Spool\Prtprocs\W32x86 folder
2. Description method:
1) Write descriptions similar to normal INI file format. [Section Name] Key_1=Data_1 Key_2=Data_2 Key_3=Data_3 . . .
2) Specify the printer name as the section name. Eg. [TM-U230]
3) Specify each key in a hexadeciaml character code corresponding to ControlA font. Eg. When "A" is specified for ControlA font, write the key as 41=. * The range that can be specified for each key is 20 to 7F.
4) Specify each data as a hexadecimal command corresponding to the character code specified in ControlA font. Eg. When you want to send the initialization command (ESC @), write the data as 1B40.
5) Sample description of an INI file: [TM-U230] 40=1B40 41=1B313131
