How to use Dj7
Before entering the parameters check to see what mode the printer is in.
At the command line type Dj7 followed by one or two parameters each
separated by a space. Any of the parameters can be entered alone
but there is a hierarchy that must be followed. If you use one of the
additional commands it must be entered before any other command.
The Land and Port commands must be issued before any font commands.
If you follow these two rules then you should not have any trouble.
When you have entered a change with Dj7 you may notice the lights on
the panel change to reflect the change you have made but not all
font changes reflect on the panel lights because some of them cannot
be set from the panel.
Example:
DJ7 PORT DEF (Sets portrait mode and the font courier 10 12)
DJ7 LAND WIDE (Sets landscape mode and the font courier 10 24)
DJ7 LAND DEF (Sets landscape mode and the font courier 10 12)
Here is an example of single parameter usage:
DJ7 LAND (Sets landscape mode)
DJ7 SSPORT (Sets portrait mode and spreadsheet font*)
DJ7 SSLAND (Sets landscape mode and spreadsheet font*)
Spreadsheet font = Courier 16.67pitch x 6point
If you use more than two parameters you will get an error message.
Some fonts are not compatible with certain modes (refer to help table)
for example you cannot use WIDE with PORT because this font is
not compatible with portrait mode. Also Landscape mode will not
support the internal italic fonts. If you enter a font with an
orientation that is incompatible Dj7 will put the printer in
the proper orientation for the font. Also if you enter commands
in the wrong sequence or if you enter more than two parameters you
will get an error message and help screens. You may at times forget
which font is active but even if the font you choose does not show on
the indicator lights, the lights will always tell you if you are in
Portrait or Landscape Mode.

More Font Info
NOTICE:
The monickers I given to the modes and fonts are purely for ease of
use and are not guaranteed to accurately represent the true nature
of the fonts in the way that may have been intended by Hewlett Packard.
Please be aware that the CG Times (PS12) font is proportional so you
may find that it doesn't always line up the way you expect it to.
The Dj7 program works only with the internal fonts for the DeskJet
500 using PC-8 as the character set. At present no font cartriges are
supported but depending on response from registered users this may change
in the future.
If after changing to landscape mode, the printer stalls with the
busy light flashing, send the internal reset command:
DJ7 RESET
This will allow the printer to proceed with your print job as you
wanted. Don't hit the manual reset button unless you want to
lose your print job. Remember after print job is finished the
printer is reset to portrait & default courier.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USE
Dj7 has been written with the users of text editors in mind.
many of my friends have been impressed with the quality of
documents that can be produced with their DeskJet, Dj7 and
and a simple text editor. With a highly advanced text editor
like Qedit (TM) & Dj7 it is quite easy to print in a special
font or mode for a special portion of your text, simply mark
the block of text that you want to work with, hit Alt F9 and
enter the Dj7 command you want, then back in Qedit go to the
print menu and choose "print Block". When you see how easy
you can access fonts with Dj7 on your DeskJet 500, like the
CG Times and Gothic fonts that are not accessible from
the key-board. You will pat your trusty Desk Jet and say
I didn't know you had it in you!
Dj7 also makes a great addition to Stereo Shell (TM). Just install
Dj7 as an F4 User Defined Program and be sure to put a question
mark "?" where it asks for parameters.
As you can see Dj7 and the above mentioned utilities make an
inexpensive way to create impressive documents. I am quite
happy to brag about Qedit (TM) and Stereo Shell (TM) because
I am a proud registered user of both. I hope you will support
the shareware concept by sending in your registration fee of
$12.00 for Dj7.
