HPIIISi TWINAX CARD
Command: 21, User Font Strings
Description:
Use this command to assign a printer font-setup string to a host’s font ID. The first argument for this command is the number of the font string, the second argument is the host’s font-ID number, and the third argument (enclosed in parentheses) is the string itself (a string of up to 25 ASCII characters—printer “escape” commands—that the Card will send to the printer when the font number is received from the host). Refer to your printer’s or font cartridge’s documentation for a list of available fonts and the printer commands that you’ll need to use to set them up properly.
Use “<” (the greater-than sign) to stand for ESC (the escape character) in the string.
Possible Arguments: | Results: |
First: 0 to 9 | String number (followed by a comma) |
Second: 0 to 65535 | Host’s font number (followed by a comma) |
Third: ([Up to 25 | Defines a user string consisting of the specified |
ASCII codes]) | ASCII characters (in parentheses) |
Third: () | Deletes the specified string from memory. |
Example:
“&%Z21,3,11(<(12U<(s0p12h10v1s3b6T)” assigns the third font string to font ID #11 and fills the string with these font-related HP printer commands: “12U” = Code Page 850; “0p” = fixed spacing; “12h” =
12 pitch; “10v” = 10 point; “1s” = italic; “3b” = bold; and “6T” = Letter Gothic.
