Enlarge Font

The installation font is enlargeable from 1~12 times. The internal bitmap is enlargeable from its standard size of 1~12 times.

For example, if the standard size is enlarged to 3 times with the width 5dot X height 9dot, it becomes at width 15dot X

height 27 dot. Below is the parameter filling method of printed character at height X enlargement ratio, width X enlargement ratio. width X enlargement ratio = width parameter setting value height X enlargement ratio = height parameter setting value Enlarge Specification <L> is controlling the font size of enlargement. The parameter is specified by the ratio.

For instance, if it is specified as <L>0304, font will be set at horizontal direction X 3 times and vertical direction X 4

times bigger than the standard size.

Character pitch is also enlarged if Expand Specification Command is specified.

Fixed Pitch and Proportional Pitch

XU~XL Font, Outline Font, CG Font can select Fixed Pitch and Proportional Pitch Printing. Proportional Pitch Specification can be set at proportional pitch specification <PS>, proportional pitch release specification<PR>,or printer’s LCD advance mode. The proportional pitch size is different depends on font type. If proportional pitch is specified, the width of alphanumeric will become smaller. The character width of fixed pitch is based on the font size respectively.

Difference between Outline Font and Bit Map Font

Bitmap font is internally installed at a fixed font height and width size. The actual height of bitmap font is slightly bigger

than the width. Bitmap font is the biggest size of font matrix. The reference for font type and font size is at the previous page of Font Table.

Set the height and width of the outline font equally, a well-balanced font can be generated by using the Smooth Scaling

Argorithm Function of the printer. In addition, many font styles such as character decoration, reverse plate, shadow and italics can be selected.

[Supplementary Explanation]

1.Character pitch is enlarged at the same time. When character pitch specification is used at the same time, the parameter value of horizontal direction enlargement ratio which is specified at enlargement specification <L> will be reflected in the next character pitch specification

2.To enlarge the graphic, specify the enlargement specification <L> before the graphic print command.

[Point]

1.To enlarge the ratio, design the print format which will not exceed the print area.

[Supplementary Explanation]

1.Valid only with Optional installed model of CL408e/412eRFID.

2.RFID Write Specification <RK> operates as printer’s print motion, the following motions of Continuous Motion, Cutter Motion, (Motion

1), Dispense Motion (Motion 1) and Tear Off Motion is applicable. However, if tear off motion is specified, information return becomes invalid even if it is writable to the tag.

3. RFID Write Specification <RK> cannot be specified at multiple between Data Send Start Specification <A> ~ Data Send Complete Specification <Z>. Use STX+<A> and <Z>+ETX as a pair. The motion is not stable when STX and ETX is omitted.

4.When RFID Tag Error Ignore is specified, print job will be re-started automatically when RFID Tag Error occur. After the re-start, the

data as same as the sent-data will be sent when RFID Tag Error occur, the quantity specified at Print Label Specification <Q> will not be deducted.

When RFID Tag Error Ignore Specification is set at 2~9, the specified quantity of RFID Tag Error will be ignored. If specified quantity of RFID Tag Error continue to appear, print job will be stopped with error. To stop auto printing temporarily when RFID tag error occurs, press LINE key when RFID TAG ERROR is displaying on the LCD screen, set to Offline status, clear all of the received data.

5.If specification of parameter b is omitted, RFID Tag Error Ignore Specification will not be performed.

6.Once specification of parameter c is omitted, write protector specification will not be executed. If specification of parameter b is omitted, the specification of parameter c is not able to be performed.

7.If write protector is specified, data which is written to the Tag will be protected. Please be noted that once the Tag is protected, the

re-write of the Tag is not able to be executed. And if data re-write is performed by printer to the protected Tag data, RFID Tag Error will appear.

8.Only TAG-IT can be applied on Write Protector Specification. If write protector is specified against I-CODE tag, command error will

appear.

9.Information of sequential and calendar cannot be written in RFID. It can be used with combination with Job ID Specification <ID>.

From the specification (B, D, BD) followed with ESC, barcode specification can change every type of bardcode printing and every barcode ratio,

includes print out guide bar as well as explanation character. Content change based on specification, use it after understand the content of this page and the following page. Below shows the outline of each specification (B, D, BD)

(1)Barcode Ratio

Barcode is formed by narror bar, wide bar, narror space and wide space. Barcode ratio refers to the ratio between narrow bar (thin bar) and wide bar (thick bar).

Barcode Specification (ratio 1: 3)

Barcode of Barcode Ratio 1: 3 is formed by thick bar “3” against thin bar “1”.

Barcode Specification (ratio 1: 2) <D>

Barcode of barcode ratio 1: 2 is formed by thick bar “2” against thin bar “1”. Barcode Specification (ratio 2: 5) <BD> Barcode of barcode ratio 2: 5 is formed by thick bar “5” against thin bar “2”.

When barcode ratio is specified optionally, register the ratio by barcode ratio specification <BT>, label can be printed by ratio specifed Barcode

Print Specification <BW>.

(2)Thin Bar Width and Barcode Height

Thin bar width is the thickness of narrow bar, while barcode height refers to the height of barcode. For example, if thin bar width is printed by printer head density of 12 dot/mm (3056dpi), the thickness of narrow bar will become 0.083mm and

unreadable at the barcode scanner. At this point specify the thin bar width at 2, the thickness of narrow bar will become 0.166, the read aptitude will be improved.

It is necessary to set thin bar width to fit to the printer head density and barcode scanner function. Barcode ratio specified the thickness of bar by “thin bar width” specification. Example: if barcode ratio =1:3, thin bar width:3 (dot), barcode ratio becomes 3:9 Barcode height is to specify the height of barcode, it set an appropriate height based on scanner form.

(3)Character Gap

Character gap is the space to differenciate between the barcode character and the following barcode character.

To specify character gap, barcode specification <D><BD> becomes valid by specifying Character Ptich Specification right before

Barcode Print Specification <BW> at ratio registration. If that specification is not done, it turns out to be default value (2 dot).

The following is the barcode type for character gap to specify. ①NW-7 ②CODE39 ③Industrial 2 of 5 ④Matrix 2 of 5

Character gap is the multiplier of value get from Chracter Pitch Specification and Thin Bar Width. Example: if Character Pitch Specification 3, thin bar width (2 dot), it turns out to be Character Pitch = 3 X 2 = 6 (dot)

[Supplementary Explanation]

1.NW-7, CODE39, Industrial 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5 can specify barcode character pitch. For specification method, by specifying right before the Character Pitch Specification , it will become barcode character pitch specification. To omit, the width becomes as similar as thin space width. e.g.) Character Pitch Specification (NIL or 0.1) X Thin Bar Width (2 dot) = Character Pitch (2 dot)

Character Pitch Specification (2) X Thin Bar Width (3 dot) = Character Pitch (6 dot)

[Point]

1.If value not within the valid range is set, it will become command error, barcode printing will be stopped.

2.Printing may exceed print area if thin bar width is enlarged.

3.If the valid barcode of character pitch enlarge the Character Pitch , it may not be read by the scanner. And the reading ratio will become worser if thin bar width is enlarged. Details can be referred to the scanner specification.

4.Specify the thin bar width where the scanner read condition shall put into consideration.

5.If the reading is worse, adjust the Print Speed Specification <CS> and Print Darkness Specification <#E>.

6.When NW-7 and CODE39 is specified, if Start/Stop Character is not included in the print data, although barcode can be printed out but it is unreadable at the scanner.

7.When JAN/EAN-13, JAN/EAN-8 is specified, if C/D which is included inside of the print data is sent, set an accurate calculation value. If inaccurate C/D is included, only barcode is printed out but it is unreadable at the scanner.

[Supplementary Explanation]

１． NW-7, CODE39, Industrial 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5 is valid for barcode character pitch specification.

For specification method, by specifying right before Character Pitch Specification , it becomes Barcode Character Pitch Specification. To omit, the width is as similar as thin space width.

e.g.1) When narrow space value is specified at 3 at Barcode Ratio Registration Specification <BT>

Character Pitch Specification (NIL or 0.3) X Thin Bar Width (2) = Character Pitch (6 dot)

e.g. 2) When Character Pitch is specified

Character Pitch Specification (2) X Thin Bar Width (3) = Character Pitch (6 dot )

2.When Barcode Ratio Registration Specification <BT> is not available, print the barcode with the ratio of narrow and wide bar that is registered before hand. However, the barcode will not be printed if Barcode Ratio Registration Specification <BT> is not carried out in advance.

3. Print data of barcode type can be referred to individual barcode code table.

[Point]

1.It becomes command error and will not be registered if data not within specification is set.

2.Printing may exceed print area when thin bar width is enlarged.

3.If the valid barcode of character pitch enlarge the Character Pitch , it may not be read by the scanner. And the reading ratio will become worse if thin bar width is enlarged. Details can be referred to the scanner specification.

4.Specify the thin bar width where the scanner reading condition shall put into consideration.

5.If it is unreadable, adjust Print Speed Specification <CS> and Print Darkness Specification <#E>.

6.When NW-7 and CODE39 is specified, and if start/stop character is not included in the print data, although barcode will be printed out but it is unreadable at the scanner.
