Identifying Fonts in Your Printer
Fonts and memory are shared by the programming languages in the printer. Fonts can be
loaded in many memory areas in the GK888 printer. ZPL programming can recognize EPL
and ZPL fonts. EPL programming can only recognize EPL fonts. See the respective
programmer guides for more information on fonts and printer memory.
ZPL Fonts:
• To manage and download fonts for ZPL print operation, use the Zebra Setup utility or
ZebraNet™ Bridge.
• To display all of the fonts loaded in your printer, send the printer the ZPL ^WD command.
See the ZPL Programmers Guide for details.
• Bitmap fonts in the various printer memory areas are identified by the .FNT file
extension in ZPL.
• Scalable fonts are identified with the .TTF, .TTE or .OTF file extensions in ZPL.
EPL does not support these fonts.
EPL Fonts:
• To download fonts for EPL print operations, use the Zebra Setup Utility or ZebraNet™
Bridge to send files to the printer.
• To display Soft Fonts (ext.) available to EPL, send the printer the EPL command EI.
• All EPL fonts displayed are bitmap fonts. They do not include the .FNT file extension
or the horizontal (H) or vertical (V) designators that are displayed with the ZPL
command ^WD as described above in ZPL Fonts.
• To remove non Asian EPL fonts with EPL programming, use the EK command.
• To remove EPL Asian fonts from the printer, use the ZPL ^ID command.
