DOWNLOAD Version 1.2
UNLOAD Version 1.1

All rights reserved
DOWNLOAD and UNLOAD are utilities used to download and unload soft fonts
and graphic macros to/from the printer memory of HP LaserJet (and compatible)
printers. DOWNLOAD and UNLOAD are generally included as supplemental utilities
with other shareware and commercial software from TaxWare.
***************************** DOWNLOAD ****************************************
DOWNLOADing a soft font file or graphic macro to the printer's memory allows
you to access the same from within your software. Refer to your printer manual
or software reference manual to determine how to access downloaded fonts and
macros from within your software.
Usage
Type DOWNLOAD or UNLOAD at the DOS prompt to receive usage help for either
utility. For DOWNLOAD, the following screen (or a similar screen) will appear:
DOWNLOAD Version 1.2 - Downloader For HP Soft Fonts And Macros
(C) Copyright TaxWare 1989, 1991. All Rights Reserved.
Usage: DOWNLOAD macroFile /M# [/O] [/L] [/C] [/P or /T] [/1 or /2 or /3]
DOWNLOAD fontFile /I# [/P or /T] [/1 or /2 or /3]
Brackets [] indicate optional parameters
macroFile - file containing the macro escape sequences
fontFile - soft font file to be downloaded
/I# is a font ID you must assign to the font (ex: /I85)
/M# is a macro ID you must assign to the macro (ex: /M31)
/O print macro on every page
/L download macro for landscape (envelope) printing
/C restore printer cursor to its pre-macro position
/P or /T font or macro status (Permanent (default) or Temporary)
/1, /2 or /3 is the printer number (1 = LPT1, and so on); default is /1
Examples
The following example downloads the soft font file HV140RPN.SFP with a font ID
of 25 to printer LPT1 and with a permanent status.
>DOWNLOAD HV140RPN.SFP /I25 /P /1
Because the status defaults to "Permanent" and the printer defaults to LPT1,
the following example will yield the same results as the first example.
>DOWNLOAD HV140RPN.SFP /I25
The following examples download the graphic macro file LOGO.PCL with a macro ID
of 1 and Permanent status to the printer LPT1. The macro can then be accessed
as your software permits.
>DOWNLOAD LOGO.PCL /M1 /P /1
>DOWNLOAD LOGO.PCL /M1 /1
>DOWNLOAD LOGO.PCL /M1 /P
>DOWNLOAD LOGO.PCL /M1
You can also download a graphic macro as a macro overlay by using the /O option
as in the following example. This means that the macro will print in the same
place on every page until it is unloaded (if Permanent status), or until the
printer is reset (if Temporary status). It is not recommended that you use the
overlay option unless you have a thorough understanding of what you are doing.
>DOWNLOAD LOGO.PCL /M1 /O
******************************* UNLOAD ****************************************
UNLOADing a font or a graphic macro from the printer memory frees the memory
taken up by the font or the graphic macro. Fonts and graphic macros which you
have downloaded should be unloaded from the printers memory when you no longer
need them, thus allowing the printer memory to be utilized for other work.
Usage
For UNLOAD, the following screen (or a similar screen) will appear:
Usage: UNLOAD /M# [/1 or /2 or /3]
UNLOAD /I# [/1 or /2 or /3]
Brackets [] indicate optional parameters
inputFile is the name of a file containing download information
/M# unloads the macro with the assigned macro ID #
/I# unloads the font with the assigned font ID #
/1, /2 or /3 is the printer number (1 = LPT1, and so on); default is /1
Examples
The following example unloads the graphic macro with an ID of 31 from the
printer's memory. The graphic macro may or may not have been downloaded as
an "overlay" macro.
>UNLOAD /M31
The following example unloads the soft font having a font ID of 6 from the
printer's memory.
>UNLOAD /I6
