3. Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 Printer Driver Settings

The PH640 comes with separate printer drivers for receipt printing, slip printing, and validation printing. These drivers enable the printer to operate on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 systems. Make settings at each of these drivers as necessary to set up receipt, slip, and validation printing. Note that the Receipt driver supports two print modes: Raster (the default) and Line. If you are using a USB connection, it is recommended that you leave the mode set to Raster. If using a serial interface, it is recommended that you set the mode to Line.
Notable dierences between these two modes are as follows.
Raster :
• Prints graphics at high speed.
• Suitable for reverse printing.
Line :
• Supports device fonts.
• Suitable for printing barcode device fonts.
The operations that can be set up from each driver are as follows.

4. Device Fonts

This printer driver provides device fonts that can be used during operation in Line mode. The printer driver supports a variety of device fonts that are installed on the printer. Printer fonts come in several font sizes and produce clearer printing than TrueType fonts. Barcode fonts and two-dimensional code fonts can be used to generate and print barcodes and two-dimensional codes of a variety of standards and sizes through the use of special codes. Control fonts can be used to control the printer through the embedding of character­based commands in print jobs.

4.1 Device Fonts List

The following table contains the device fonts that the printer driver supports. To use the device fonts, specify the font and the appropriate font size (in points) in the application's format settings. In Microsoft Word and Excel, the height of 24 pixels equals 8.5 points.

4.3.4 Using the Two-dimensional Code Font

When using the QR code/PDF417 font, data of the two-dimensional code can be specified up to 500 bytes. (500 bytes includes the types of data entered and the separator.)
A sample program for Visual Basic using two-dimensional code font is provided below.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Printer.Font.Name = "Printer 17cpi Tall"

Printer.Print "QR code:";
Printer.Font.Name = "QR_CNTL" ' Sets QR_CNTL font
Printer.Print "M2"; ' Sets barcode model
Printer.Print "Em"; ' Sets correction level (Correction rate 15%)
Printer.Print "S3" ' Sets module size (Module size 3 dots)
Printer.Print "B1"; ' Sets barcode data (Manual analysis) + Number of blocks
Printer.Print "2"; ' Alphanumeric (Data type)
Printer.Font.Name = "DATA1" ' DATA1 = 0x0000 - 0x005F
Printer.Print Chr(&H2A); '
Printer.Print Chr(&H20); '
Printer.Font.Name = "ESC_FONT" ' ESC_FONT = 0x0020 - 0x007F
Printer.Print "abcdefghij"; ' Barcode data (10 byte)
Printer.Font.Name = "QR_CNTL" ' Sets QR_CNTL font
Printer.Print "P" ' Prints barcode data
Printer.EndDoc
End Sub
Converts 0x2A0x0A, 0x200x0 Number of bytes: 10(0x0A)+0(0x0)=10 byte
When QR code data is set to data manual analysis, be sure to set the number of blocks and
type of data to enter.
For details on setup, refer to "Appendix 1. 2-dimensional Codes PDF417 Command Details"
and "Appendix 2. 2-dimensional Codes QR Code Command Details".

4.5 Restrictions and Precautions

• Please do not use more than one device font on a single line.
Mixing device fonts on a single line may result in skewed printing.
• Do not include graphic data (Windows fonts, ruled lines, etc.) on the same line with a device font, as
this too may cause skewed print results.
• Remember that the “Control” device font cannot be used for normal character printing.
Use fonts other than the “Control” device font to print characters.
• If you use barcode fonts or two-dimensional code fonts, only the characters corresponding to the
codes that you enter appear in the document window of software applications, such as Microsoft Word. The barcode image is generated when you print it.
• If you print barcodes or two-dimensional bar codes using the device fonts, they may not be printed
with the correct page length.
Software Manual
• To print two-dimensional codes using the device fonts, enter the two-dimensional code data on
one line.
Keep the size of the two-dimensional code data within 500 bytes. This data size limit is determined
by the printable width of the paper that you will be printing on. 500 bytes is based on a printable
width of 104 mm. If you use paper whose printable width is less than 104 mm, you may not be able
to print data that is 500 bytes in size.
This limitation also applies to VB programs. When sending data using a VB program, keep the data
length within 500 bytes.
If you enter two-dimensional code data that spans multiple lines or specify data that exceeds
500 bytes, the two-dimensional code will not be printed properly, and there is no guarantee that
anything that comes after it will be printed properly.
