Add/Remove a Font Using the Client
API
In this example, the printer is in Line mode and adds a font configuration, prints a report, and removes the font configuration. It adds and removes the Batang font to the Peripheral Input/Output Service (PIOS) infrastructure using the Client API.
The font configuration added must map to an existing font in the printer.
The program performs the following steps:
...
1. Opens connection to the printer.
2. Adds the font configuration.
3. Sets the parameters for the font configuration and saves the changes.
4. Closes and reopens the connection to the printer for the font configuration to take effect.
5. Prints a sample text.
6. Deletes the font configuration and saves the changes.
7. Closes the connection to the printer.
Ensure that you have configured the Emulator or printer accordingly.
