What is the control font?
The control font is a font that is built-in the printer driver, it becomes available to any Windows application that is currently using a Star printer. The control font can be used to send instructions to the printer that can usually only be sent by software that controls the printer directly (such as instructions to open a cash drawer, cut or print a stored logo). A document is supplied with the printer drivers which lists all of the functions of the control font. Below shows an example of selecting the control font from the WordPad application (bundled with Windows): Run WordPad Select File ! ‘Page Setup…’ from the pull down menus Click on and select the Star Printer that you are using. On the font list, you will be able to select all of the fonts that are built-in the driver including the control font (as well as printer resident and barcode fonts).
