Identifying Fonts in Your Printer

Identifying Fonts in Your Printer

Fonts can be loaded into various storage locations in the printer. Fonts and memory are shared by the programming languages in the printer.
The ZPL programming language can recognize EPL and ZPL fonts. However, EPL programming can only recognize EPL fonts. See the respective programming guides for more information on fonts and printer memory.
Specific to ZPL fonts:
To manage and download fonts for ZPL print operation
Use the Zebra Setup Utility or ZebraNet Bridge Utilities.
To display all fonts loaded onto your printer
Send the printer the
^WD
 ZPL command  to the printer. See the ZPL Programming Guide for details.
In ZPL:
  • The bitmap fonts in the various printer memory areas are identifiable by the
    .FNT
     file extension.
  • The scalable fonts are identified with the
    .TTF
     ,
    .TTE
     or
    .OTF
     file extensions. (EPL does not support these fonts.)
