Getting Familiar with Soft-fonts and Barcodes
This example will bring us through all the menu items under 7. Work With Fonts.
At the end of this section we will have made the following:
1. Installed the TrueType Font ARIAL from the PC environment and stored it as a
resource (soft font member).
2. Created a Code128 bar code. That includes a soft font, which is assigned to a
font number and specified to download the soft font when used.
3. Created a font number (5001) to be used with the arial soft font.
4. Defined that the OCR-B soft font delivered with InterForm400
®
is to be
downloaded to any printer queue automatically when the font number 3 is
used in overlays, and defined that ARIAL soft font is to be downloaded
whenever font number 5001 is used.
In order to get the exact result as described in the following it would require you to have a
PCL5 compatible printer assigned to printer queue AFC_OUT1.
