HPF - Automatic Soft Font Loader for HP LaserJet+ and compatible printers
HPF is a resident utility which monitors the printer messages for any request
for fonts and HPF will automatically load the font into the printer. HPF
first checks to see if the font has already been loaded, then HPF checks if
there is sufficient memory free in the printer. If the printers memory is
likely to be full, the least recently used font is deleted first.
HPF is designed to make the use of soft fonts easier. There is an increasing
range of soft fonts available for HP LaserJet compatible printers, but
because there is no standard method for loading soft fonts, they can be quite
difficult to use. Some software packages are supplied with extensive facili-
ties for
loading the soft font files into your printer, whilst others require you to
load the soft fonts before a document can be printed. This can be tedious -
and furthermore however good the software package is, it forgets the printer
soft font status on exit only to reload the fonts again when the application
is re-loaded again.
Few, if any, applications keep a check on the memory used by the soft fonts
so the applications can blindly load a soft font when there is no room in the
printer's memory.
Worse still is the chaos which can result because the printer is switched
off, or the printer is shared by a number of computers and is disconnected.
HPF OFFERS A SOLUTION
With HPF you are no longer required to execute BATch files to load soft
fonts;
you no longer have to calculate the amount of free printer memory;
you no longer have to remember to re-load the printer fonts after
disconnecting or switching off the printer.
Requirements:
HP LaserJet Plus, and compatible printer connected to printer port
of computer; hard disc complete with downloaded PCL compatible soft
fonts.
