- Description:
-
- FONTID and FONTPM - Utility programs to simplify downloading of
- fonts to HP LaserJet II and Plus.
-
- These programs replace the BASIC routines supplied by HP with each
- soft font package. The advantage of these routines over the HP
- ones is that they are command line driven, so that you may
- construct a batch file to download a set of fonts automatically.
-
- Usage:
- This set of three commands downloads a font to the LaserJet.
- FONTID nn >PRN
- COPY /B hpfont PRN
- FONTPM nn >PRN
-
- Parameters:
- nn a font number. Any font number allowed by HP
- is permitted (1-32767 on LaserJet II)
- hpfont name of an HP font file. E.g., HV120RPN.USP. Paths
- are allowed.
-
- Operation:
- FONTID sends the escape sequence to the printer to assign the
- number to the font.
- FONTPM marks the font as permanent.
-
- Sample batch file to download fonts:
-
- ECHO OFF
- CLS
- REM
- REM This is LOAD.BAT, which downloads Prestige Elite fonts.
- REM Only USASCII fonts are downloaded to conserve space.
- REM
- echo Loading Prestige Elite 7 point, 16 pitch, Regular, Portrait
- fontid 20 >PRN
- COPY /B D:\U\HP\PR070R16.USP PRN > NUL
- fontpm 20 >PRN
