Font definition example

&&??% %Y91,521,6,5,1,18,1% %X1

This will define GFID 512 as a Helvetica, proportional bold, Roman 8 symbol set, point size 18, and translate table 1 (Roman 8). It will then save settings permanently and erase the escape character (X1).

Other commands

Other commands that can be used in connection with font definition, are:

Y3, CPI

Y92, Font Point

Y93, Font Attribute

Y94, Font Typeface

Y96, Font Change

Y97, User Defined GFID/Font Selection

11.5.5 Selecting Fonts - XES

NOTE:

The procedures in this chapter can only be used, if you havelectedse the XES option on the interface (see the chapter on installation requirements).

You can have many laser printers connect to the Xerox FS 5250, have a large number of internal fonts 7 and install more fonts either as soft fonts or as font cassettes. This chapter describes how you can use these fonts.

Many software programs will provide you with the facility of changing fonts. But if your software does not have this facility, you can still change fonts in a document by sending commands to the interface.

What to consider

When you send a font change command to the interface, you must remember the following:

1.The system and system software will not know that you have changed font. This means that data will be transmitted to the printer as before the font change. This may give you format problems.

7See the basic printer manuals for an explanation of fonts.
