Font Differences<br />

The new printers include support <strong>for</strong> industry-st<strong>and</strong>ard TrueType<br />

<strong>and</strong> OpenType fonts <strong>and</strong> have added support <strong>for</strong> global languages<br />

with complex text layout. Other differences include:<br />

• New printer resident fonts do not exactly match legacy fonts<br />

in terms of character look, but care was taken to ensure the<br />

new fonts are metrically compatible (fit in the same space) with<br />

legacy fonts.<br />

• Support <strong>for</strong> CF cards with Asian <strong>and</strong> Eastern European fonts has<br />

been replaced by TrueType fonts that may be downloaded to the<br />

printer using PrintSet 5, the printer web page, FTP or via USB.<br />

C0 to c7 Fonts<br />

Fonts c0-c7 printed with new 406 dpi printers will appear slightly<br />

different than those printed on legacy 406 dpi printers.<br />

Example<br />

To achieve fonts more closely resembling legacy or competitive<br />

fonts, font aliasing can change font face, sizing <strong>and</strong> make<br />

positioning adjustments. More in<strong>for</strong>mation about font aliasing<br />

can be found in the Font Aliasing <strong>for</strong> <strong>Intermec</strong> <strong>PC</strong> <strong>Series</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>PM43</strong><br />

Legacy Mode<br />

Under legacy mode, some fonts print longer when compared to<br />

PF2i/4i, PM4i <strong>and</strong> PX4i/6i upgrade printers but are similar in<br />

length to legacy printers. Only character spacing is supported.<br />
