^HT - Host Linked Font List

Sends the list of linked fonts back to the host.

^HT returns the printer's font-link table over the link. A font link makes a base font default to a second font for characters it does not contain, and ^CW sets one up. ^HT reports the links in place. Its printed counterpart is ^LF, and the difference decides this page: ^HT renders no page, and ^LF renders one.

Syntax

^HT

Support

Recognised, deliberately skippedparsed: none · state: none · rendered: none

Accepted and skipped, because it configures the printer rather than the label. It cannot change the rendered output, and Labelary skips it too.

Returns the font links ^LF would print, but over the printer's link, so it renders no page. This service holds no font-link table to describe. The renderer does not parse this command. It reports IGNORED_COMMAND at info severity, which does not reach X-Warnings. Labelary is also silent, so the rendered label is identical in both engines. — not pinned by a test

Labelary renders this command.

Parameters

^HT takes no arguments.

Behavior

^HT postdates the 2006 edition of the ZPL II Programming Guide and appears nowhere in it, so the guide documents no reply layout. Labelary's description says only that ^HT requests a list of font links through the terminal.

The renderer holds no font-link table and no link to answer on, so it ignores the command. Measured against Labelary on 2026-07-30: ^XA^FO50,50^A0N,40,40^FDhi^FS^HT^XZ returns X-Total-Count: 1. Labelary renders no page for ^HT either, so the two engines agree. The renderer reports IGNORED_COMMAND at info severity, which does not reach X-Warnings. Labelary is also silent.

Example

A format that asks for the font links and prints a line of text. Only the text reaches the page.
