Hp Font Identifier Codes - Epson C82314* User Manual

HP FONT IDENTIFIER CODES

When Command 60 (see Appendix A, command 60) of the interface is used to
select HP LaserJet emulation, font changes can be accomplished by simply
including the font identifier ID code in the text of the document being printed.
In the Appendix C at the back of the manual is a summary listing of the font
identifier codes for the printer' s resident fonts and the Epson font cartridges. The
code consists of the delimiter characters (&% or alternate delimiters)' plus the
letter "P" or "L" depending on whether the user wants portrait or landscape
printing, and the font ID number.
If a non-Epson supplied HP compatible font cartridge is used, the font ID number
assigned to the font in the Epson cartridges works with the HP compatible
cartridges. Additional font ID numbers are assigned to other fonts available In
many of the HP compatible cartridges and these are listed in an Appendix C at
the back of the manual. If the font you want to use is not listed with a font ID
number, it is simple to assign the font command to a custom user string and
access the font by using the user string command.
Example: Code &%L086 identifies a landscape Prestige 12 CPI font in the
Epson 5412 font cartridge. if the font cartridge is not installed, then
the printer automatically selects an alternate landscape font and uses
it to print the document.
Multiple font changes can be made in a document as long as all fonts are
specified in the same orientation. A change in orientation (portrait or landscape)
automatically ejects the page. A blank page at the first of a document is often
caused by a change in orientation. A font ID must be absolutely the first data on
the page, i.e. at the first position on the very first line of the page when it specifies
a change in orientation from the previously printed page, or a blank page will be
ejected.
