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

COPY /B D:\U\HP\PR070R16.USP PRN > NUL
fontpm 20 >PRN
