Font number is the number (found on the status summary
sheet) assigned to the font you wish to select. X is 0 if
the font you wish to select is for portrait orientation or 1
if the font is for landscape orientation. This information
is also found on the status summary sheet.
Example -
If your computer allows you to send es-
cape sequences to a printer by using the BASIC command
LPRINT and you wish to use the escape sequence method
to select "Prestige Elite", use this BASIC command:
LPRINT CHR$(27) ;"[7506;0;15"
In this example, CHR$ (27) is the BASIC method of send-
ing a decimal code that represents a command instead
of a printable character. Decimal code 27 is the <ESC>
command. Prestige Elite is a portrait font and the font
number assigned to it is 7506. Once you select a font, the
printer continues to use it for printing until you send an-
other command to change fonts. The command to change
fonts could be another software command selecting a dif-
ferent font or a printer keypad font selection. Turning
the printer off or resetting the printer also causes a "font
change" (i.e., it selects the default f o n t ) . \ .
NOTE:
Epson, Proprinter, and LaserJet emulation modes
have other escape sequences that select fonts. Refer to the
sections of this manual covering these emulation modes
for details.
