"Built-in fonts of a printer" can be specified with the application programs. The "built-in fonts" are as follows. - Printer Font(Small) - Printer Font(Large) The font names that the user can choose in the application are as follows. 2 types of character-height can be chosen in each font. Three kinds of the xxx cpi font and the xxx cpi Ext and the xxx cpi Euro. font are prepared for by English edition Driver. The character code of 128 bytes of 80H - FFH varies in the difference in these printer fonts. A xxx cpi font supports an ANSI character code. And, a xxx cpi Ext. font supports IBM expansion character code. And, a xxx cpi Euro font supports an Euro symbol correspondence ANSI character code. The TM-J8000 printer is supporting 10cpi[OCR] font. The character which can be printed by this printer font is only "SP + - 0123456789<>".

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
below), so that the corresponding extended characters cannot be printed. - The Euro font does support printing of TM PrinterDriver English edition. But, in the TM printer driver of TM-U200B/L60, it isn't supporting Euro Font. -For Printer Model: TM-U675/H6000, both xxxcpi printer font and xxxcpi[Ext.] printer font of these printer model use CP1252 of MS-Windows code page.

The drivers can print HRI characters together with the bar code. For information, 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 non-printing functions, as indicated in the 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 issuing codes 80H above when using non-extended printer fonts (all fonts 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

6. Using the TM Printer from an Application
6.1. Controlling the Printer from WordPad.
We use WordPad on Windows95 as an example, to show the instructions for using this from an application. However, the printer fonts are not available in WordPad bundled with WindowsNT4.0. Please use the other applications. 6.1.1. WordPad Environment Begin by setting your default printer and the WordPad environment as follows. Start up WordPad, and enter appropriate settings for the follows. - Size - Resolution - Orientation - Source - Margins 6.1.2. Printing Text Use the following procedure to generate a printout from WordPad. 1. 2. 3. 4. Select the font you wish to use from the font list. Select the font size you wish use from the font-size list. Type in some text into the WordPad text-input area. Open the File menu, and click on Print. The TM printer will print out the text you entered at Step 3.
For fastest printing, select a printer font (rather than a Windows font) from the font list.
6.1.3. Opening the Cash Drawer 1. 2. 3. 4. Select the "control" font from the font list. Set the font size to 10. Type an "A" into the WordPad text-input area. Open the File menu, and click on Print.

Clicking on Print will cause cash drawer #1 to open at a drive speed of 50ms. By changing the character that you input at Step 3, you can select a different drive speed or open the other drawer (drawer #2). Refer to Section 4.3, "Special Functions," for a listing of characters and their functions.
6.1.4. Print Bar code Use the following procedure to print a bar code. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Select the "control" font from the font list. Set the font size to 10. Type an "r" into the WordPad text-input area. Hit the Enter key. Select JAN13(EAN) from the font list. Set the font size to 42. Enter the code you wish to generate. Open the File menu, and click on Print.
Clicking on Print causes the printer to print the bar code corresponding to the value you entered at Step 7, with HRI characters along the bottom of the bar-code pattern. You can change the HRI printout (disable it, or change the HRI font or location) by changing the character that you enter at Step 3. (Refer to Section 4.3, "Special Functions.") You can change the bar-code type by making different selections at Steps 5 and 6. (Refer to Section 4.2, "Bar Code Printing. ")
6.1.5. Cutting the Paper The following procedure will cause the printer to print the entered text and then cut the paper. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Select any font other than "control" from the font list. Set the font size as desired. Type in the text you wish to print. Hit the Enter key. Select the "control" font from the font list. Set the font size to 10. Type in an "F". Open the File menu, and click on Print.
When you click on Print, the printer prints the text you entered at Step 3 and then executes a full cut. If you wish to execute a partial cut instead, enter a "P" rather than an "F" at Step 7. (But note that some printers cannot execute a full cut.)
6.2. Controlling the Printer from Visual Basic (Ver. 4.0)
This section shows how you can control the TM printer using Visual Basic (version 4.0). Note that the TM printer drivers include sample Visual Basic programs that provide additional examples. 6.2.1. Selecting the Printer Driver The following code establishes the specified printer driver as your "default printer."
