Confirming the Content of a Font Card
To confirm the content of the card, select the Fingerprint application in
Intermec Shell (see the User’s Guide for the printer) and issue the follow
-
ing instruction:
FILES "card1:"
yields for example:
Files on card1:

e .UFF file is the only file that varies between different font cards. e
.UFF file will create two files on the device "rom:"; one .BIN file which
contains the actual font and one .NCD file that contains the charac
ter set for the font. To see the .BIN and .NCD files, use the following
instruction:
FILES "rom:"
yields for example:

Font Files and Fonts
Fingerprint will identify the .BIN file as a font file and display the name
of the font or fonts it contains when the instruction FONTS is given.
For example, the font file DFST-M3.BIN will contain the font “Song”.
It is the font name you shall use in FONT or FONTD instructions to
specify which font you want to use.
Use the FONTS instruction like this:

Single- and Double-Byte Fonts
Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Arabic fonts are single-byte fonts, that
is, each letter, number, or punctuation mark (glyph) is specified by a
decimal ASCII value between 032 and 256 (000-031 are non-print
-
able control characters). e relation between glyph and ASCII value is
decided by a character set.
Most Asian fonts are double-byte fonts, that is, each glyph is specified by
a combination of two one-byte ASCII decimal values. is theoretically
allows more than 65,000 different glyphs to be used. Each font has its
own character set.
Fingerprint has different instruction for single- and double-byte fonts:
• FONT specifies a single-byte font
• NASC specifies a single-byte character set
• FONTD specifies a double-byte font
• NASCD specifies a double-byte character set
Also refer to Intermec Fingerprint v8.xx, Programmer‘s Reference Manual
.
Creating Double-Byte Text
e Fingerprint instruction CHR$ is used to specify ASCII values that
cannot be typed on the keyboard of the host. For example, CHR$(65)
specifies the ASCII decimal value 065, which will yield an uppercase A
when using a Latin character set. When using double-byte fonts, use the
same principle, but specify two ASCII values instead of one. e first
character above ASCII 127 decimal will be interpreted as the first byte in
a double-byte glyph.
is example that shows how to print three simplified Chinese glyphs.
Be careful to specify the double-byte font before the character set.
FONTD "Song", 18
NASCD "GB2312.NCD"
A$=CHR$(176)+CHR$(163)+CHR$(176)+CHR$(164)+CHR$(176)+CHR$(65)
PRTXT A$
PRINTFEED
For other examples, LOAD and LIST the demonstration program
972570xx.PRG. In case of trouble with some Fingerprint versions
when switching from double-byte to single-byte fonts and not specifying
a single-byte character set, add the instruction
NASCD"".

972570xx.PRG
• Press <Enter>.
• You have now entered a loop where you can scroll back and forth
using the <F1/> and<F3/> keys respectively to select one of the
double-byte fonts. Press <Enter> to print the font. e “For demo
print” option prints the font stored on the inserted font card whereas
the remaining options print samples of the other double-byte font.
