NOTE: When entering Epson or Proprinter emulation mode,
the default font automatically becomes the Pica font (382
in Epson and 385 in Proprinter) regardless of the settings
of Group C, P, or L. There is an Option in both Group E
(Epson Emulation Options) and Group I (Proprinter Emu-
lation Options) that may be set
to
override this automatic
selection of the Pica font. Refer to Part III of this manual
for details.
Whenever the printer is in LaserJet emulation mode the
settings of Groups C, P, and L are ignored. Courier (font
7504, portrait orientation) is the default font for LaserJet
emulation mode. Changing to a different font while in
LaserJet emulation mode may only be done through spe-
cial LaserJet font selection escape sequences or through
the Printer Software Command to change fonts (see Sec-
tion B.2).
B.2
Escape Sequence Font Selection
An "escape sequence" is a command to the printer that
begins with the <ESC> command. This character is rep-
resented by the hexadecimal code lB, the binary number
00011011, the octal code 33 or the decimal code 27. Com-
puters and software packages differ in the ways that they
transmit an <ESC> command to a printer. You should find
out how your system transmits these codes before trying
to work with the escape sequences in this manual. NOTE:
There is no connection between <ESC> and the
Esc
key
on your computer keyboard.
You can select a font at any time with this printer software
command:
<ESC>[font number;X;ls
