How to download fonts from the host computer
XEROX 4213 LASER PRINTER PROGRAMMER REFERENCE
The example below demonstrates how to download fonts from a
host computer running on MS-DOS in parallel. You create and
transmit three files:
File 1 defines the UDK (if the escape character cannot be
•
used) and initiates the command Font Load (or Font Add) to
the printer.
File 2 copies the UDK and Font Load or Font Add command
•
to the printer, and copies the fonts to the printer.
File 3 defines the UDK again and resets the printer with the
•
Reset command.
1. Assume that you are running MS-DOS and have loaded the
font diskette into drive A of your host computer. You are
now ready to create File 1. You are using the Commercial At
symbol (@) as a UDK.
At the C:> prompt on your computer screen, enter:
copy con:start.doc
Press Return
(
.)
=UDK=@@+F,Font Load
Press Return
(
.)
<CTRL>z
Press Return
(
.)
The file has been created to set the printer for font loading.
2. You are now ready to create File 2, which sends the
commands and fonts to the printer.
At the C:> prompt enter:
copy con:download.bat
Press Return
