Re: unable to print PCL chinese font, always print Korean

I don't have access to a LaserJet M602n printer, so don't know much about its capabilities.

 

Substituting 12 for the XX point size in your skeleton PCL escape sequence:

 

<Esc>(18N         Primary Font: Symbol Set (18N = Unicode)<Esc>(s1p         Primary Font: Spacing: Proportional
       12v        Primary Font: Height (12 points)
       0s         Primary Font: Style (Upright, solid)
       0b         Primary Font: Stroke Weight: Medium
       17007T     Primary Font: Typeface (identifier = 17007)

 

shows that you are selecting a font:

  • Which supports the 18N (= Unicode) symbol set; all printer resident unbound scalable encapsulated TrueType fonts should theoretically therefore be candidates.
  • Which is proportionally-spaced and available in the selected point size
  • With typeface identifier 17007 - I've no idea whether or not this is a printer-resident font on the M602 model.

 

However, to select characters with character codes outside of the single-byte 0x20->0xff range using Unicode code-points (of necessity two-bytes or more, since they are larger than 0xff), you also have to select the appropriate Text Parsing Mode; for Unicode this would be:

 

<Esc>&t83P        Text Parsing Method: UTF-8

The required code-points then have to be specified using the (two-byte or more) UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode code-point values (so, for example, U+100 would be encoded as 0xc480); I don't know, off-hand, which Unicode sub-ranges are used for Chinese language characters.

 

There are other values of the Text Parsing Mode sequence to select, but I'm not very familiar with any of them:

 

<Esc>&t0P   Text Parsing Method: 1-byte<Esc>&t1P   Text Parsing Method: 1-byte<Esc>&t2P   Text Parsing Method: 2-byte<Esc>&t21P  Text Parsing Method: 1|2-byte Asian 7bit<Esc>&t31P  Text Parsing Method: 1|2-byte Shift-JIS<Esc>&t38P  Text Parsing Method: 1|2-byte Asian 8bit

 

which can be used with some other Asian symbol sets (if the printer supports them), but I don't know the details off-hand.
