Single line (^FD,^FV,^SN and ^FP): Left to Right, Right to Left and Top to Bottom.

Single line can support global printing. This

Multi-Line (

^FD, ^FV and ^FB): Left to Right, Right to Left, Centered, and Justified.

Paragraph Text (

^FD,^FV,^TB and ^PA): Justification: Auto, Left, Right,

BiDi (bi-directional). The combination of these parameters provides support for advanced

Unicode rendering of grapheme clusters, contextual shaping, connecting head strokes,

tone marks, diacritic marking, combining character (glyphs), etc. needed to support raw

(text) data strings in readable scripts (written language).

Character (

^FH): The kiosk printer supports use of hexadecimal characters for character

substitution, double-byte characters, or for entering restricted (~ - Tilde, ^ - Caret, / -

Backslash) or printer control codes. Note the character decoding method is determined by

the printer’s character encoding setting (

^CI-Change International Font/Encoding).

Designing for Multiple Language and Global Regions

Here are a series of exercises designed to take you through the process of verifying the

idea settings for suppling text data for printing. The simple formats (forms) supplied can

easily be modified or imported into your kiosk applications software design code for

modeling printer operation.

Printing correctly localized text requires three things work together; fonts, code page

selection, and the method of suppling text data to the printer. To continue, you will need

answers to the following questions before proceeding:

• Do I know all the languages and locales I need for printing receipts in the kiosk?

• Has each font been verified to support those languages.

• What is the native text output encoding method of my application software? Does

it support Unicode or must an unique code page be selected?

• Can I reduce the number of fonts needed to print receipts in all languages?

• Reducing the number of fonts used can reduce font licensing requirements.

• Conserve printer memory for format (form) and graphic storage.

• It is considered a good design layout practice to limit font usage.

• Can the kiosk design application software output encoding method be changed to

support other encoding schemes if the text data or font selection require it?

• Use of hexadecimal data encoding for special or reserved characters used

by the kiosk design application or the printer.

• Use of the double-byte Zebra Asian Bitmap Fonts to conserve printer may

require hexadecimal character encoding.
