-
- ~Font
-
- The Font menu provides access to printer font control commands.
- These commands are subject to the limitations of the fonts offered
- internally or on a cartridge by your printer. For example: If none
- of the fonts have an Extra Bold stroke weight, selecting Extra
- Bold will have no effect.
-
- Default Font
-
- The printer maintains two independent font tables for use in
- selecting a primary font and a secondary font. This command
- provides access to these two distinct fonts, only one of which
- is selected at a given time. Since these are two separate and
- distinct fonts, the characteristics of each may be entirely
- different.
-
- Default: Primary
-
- ÇSelect Font
-
- This command provides you with an alternate way of selecting
- fonts. Instead of changing font characteristics manually until
- the selected font is desired, you may use this command to select
- a preset font. A preset may be selected from either internal
- or cartridge presets.
-
- üCartridge Fonts
-
- Before selecting a cartridge preset, you must specify the name
- of a cartridge preset file. Since multiple cartridges may be
- used, multiple preset files may be maintained. To create
- a cartridge preset file, use the JPCONFIG program.
-
- éCartridge Fonts Filename
-
- Enter the name of a cartridge font preset file. (To create
- a cartridge preset file, use the JPCONFIG program.) If a file
- extension isn't entered, the extension ".FNT" is assumed.
-
- âFont Preset Selection
-
- Look for the font characteristics you desire. Press Enter to
- select those characteristics and make them active. Press Esc
- to abort.
-
- äSymbol Set
-
- The symbol set identifies the specific characters and/or symbols
- provided by a font. Each symbol set is defined with a specific
- application in mind. For example, the legal and math symbol sets
- were designed to support legal and scientific applications. You
- may select a symbol set from the list given, or you may select
- "Other" (located at the bottom of the list). Selecting "Other"
- allows you to select an unsupported symbol set. You need only
- supply the symbol set code (or ID #). (See your printer manual
- for a list of symbol set codes.)
-
- Default: Roman-8
-
- àSpacing
-
- Fonts can be either fixed or proportionally spaced. Fixed spaced
- fonts are those in which the distance between characters is
- constant. Proportionally spaced fonts are those in which the
- distance between characters varies with the natural shape of
- each character.
-
- NOTE: Most scaleable fonts are proportionally spaced. If you're
- attempting to select a scaleable font, make sure you select the
- correct spacing.
-
- Default: Fixed
-
- åPitch
-
- Pitch defines the number of characters printed in a horizontal
- inch. Pitch only applies to fixed spaced fonts since the number
- of characters per inch varies for proportional fonts.
-
- Units : Characters Per Inch
- Default: 10
- Range : .1 to 576 (valid to 2 decimal places)
-
- çHeight
-
- The height of a font is the measurement of the body of the type
- in points; a point being 1/72nd of an inch. The body of the
- type is slightly greater than the distance from the bottom of a
- descender to the top of an unaccented capital letter.
-
- NOTE: If you're selecting a scaleable font, any desired height
- may be entered. The printer will then scale the font to the
- requested height.
-
- Units : 1 Point (72nd of an inch)
- Default: 12
- Range : .25 to 999.75 (valid to 2 decimal places)
-
- êStyle
-
- Style is defined by the three following characteristics: posture
- (upright, italic), width (condensed, normal, expanded, etc.),
- and structure (solid, outline, shadow, etc.). You may select a
- style from the list given, or you may select "Other" (located
- at the bottom of the list). Selecting "Other" allows you to
- select an unsupported style. You need only supply the style
- code. (See your printer manual for a list of style codes.)
-
- Default: Upright
-
- ëStroke Weight
-
- Stroke weight defines the thickness of the strokes that compose
- the characters. Select a stroke weight from the list given.
-
- Default: Medium
-
- èTypeface
-
- Typeface identifies the design of the symbols (characters) of
- the font. Each typeface has unique and distinguishing design
- characteristics. You may select a typeface from the list given,
- or you may select "Other" (located at the bottom of the list).
- Selecting "Other" allows you to select an unsupported typeface.
- You need only supply the typeface code. (See your printer manual
- for a list of typeface codes.)
-
- Default: Courier
-
- ïUnderline
-
- Underline controls automatic text underlining. When fixed
- underlining is selected, the underline is drawn at 5/300ths

- is selected, the underline position is determined by the
- greatest underline distance below the baseline of all of the
- fonts printed on the current line.
-
- Default: Disabled
-
- îOther
-
- The Other menu provides access to other commands printer related.
-
- ìPrint Control String
-
- This option allows you to manually enter a control string to be
- sent to the printer. A control string is a group of characters
- that instructs the printer to perform a certain function or
- command. The control string can be a combination of commands or
- can simply be a line of text to be printed.
-
- LaserJet printer commands are preceded by an escape character
- (escape code). The escape code looks like an arrow pointing to
- the left (). To enter the escape code, press the Esc key while
- you're editing the control string.
