Character codes that can be used with LB commands
The HP-GL/2 filter supports three character codes for specifying LB command parameters: ASCII (Roman
8), JIS, and Shift JIS. If other codes are included in HP-GL data, unwanted characters might be output.
Font specification and selection
As with other HP-GL/2 products, procedures for font selection at HP-GL/2 filter are based on SD and AD
command parameters.
Parameters that can be used with SD and AD commands
The standard and substitute character sets (SD and AD commands respectively) define each character set's
attributes, such as font, font spacing, pitch height, and character width. The table below shows which of
the attributes shown in the HPGL/2 manual can be used with HP-GL/2.
