Hi,
I am trying to print a PCL file which contains Vietnamese characters via HP LaserJet Pro M404dw printer. The printed characters are not as expected.
Here are the Vietnamese characters I am trying to print:
PHIẾU NHẬP KHO
Số đơn hàng
Nhà cung cấp
Người nhận hàng
Here is the PCL content:
E&l1O&k2G&l5.45C&t83P(18N(s1p12v0s0b4101T&a4L&l3E&a58H&l0O&l6C
&a58HPHIẾU NHẬP KHO
&a58HSố đơn hàng
&a58HNhà cung cấp
&a58HNgười nhận hàng
E
Here is the printed result:
PHI U NH P KHO
S đ n hàng
Nh cung c p
Ng i nh n hàng
My guessing is that I may need to install the PCL font which supports Vietnamese on my HP LaserJet Pro M404dw printer. Then I need to change the PCL content "(s1p12v0s0b4101T" to the font installed.
If I need to install the font, any idea of what font can I use for Vietnamese and how can I install it on HP LaserJet Pro M404dw printer?
If my guessing is wrong, any idea why wrong Vietnamese characters are being printed?
Many thanks.
Regards,
Tina

What language do you have the printer set for? Not sure if that affects font sets available to be used by the printer but it may.

The display language is English. I printed the PCL Font List on HP LaserJet Pro M404dw printer. There are 84 fonts. Neither of them supports Vietnamese.
I found a similar issue: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Archive-Read-Only/Not-printing-proper-Chinese-fonts/td-p/5759...
In that post, they have "Andale Mono WT J" font installed on the printer which supports Chinese. So I am thinking if I need to install the font which supports Vietnamese on my printer then change my PCL file accordingly.
If that's the solution, I want to know how to install the font on HP LaserJet Pro M404dw printer. What font format is needed to install the font(e.g. TTF)?
Any help is appreciated.
