6.3 User-Defined Fonts (HP PCLonly)
The PQ-8P supports a vast variety
of fonts. For a list of the supported
fonts, refer to Appendixes A and B.
In addition, the User-Defined Fonts
feature allows assignment of new or
existing font IDs to different printer
resident fonts or fonts from an
optional font cartridge. Up to 10
new pairs of font IDs and fonts can
be created.
The following example assumes
an HP 4Si is connected to the PQ-8P
and the default font is specified as
font 11. The font ID 11 represents
the font Courier 10 CPI. If you want
to change the default font but
maintain the font ID 11, simply
assign a new font to font ID 11 (for
example, Courier bold 10 CPI).
This is done by sending the Host/PC
download command
&%Z21,0,11(<(12U<(s0p10h12v0s3b
4099T) to the printer. Font ID 11
has now been redefined as Courier
bold 10 CPI. Consult the printer’s
user’s guide for the information
needed to write the string.
In the same manner, personalized
font IDs can be assigned to printer
resident fonts or to fonts from an
optional font cartridge. These fonts
can then be called up by using the
newly assigned font ID, the same way
the standard printer resident fonts
are called up.
User defined fonts cannot be used
with the ¬F font change commands.
6.4 Color Printing
The PQ-8 allows printing of color
on PCL5C-compatible printers such
as the HP Color LaserJet, DeskJet
1200C, or DeskJet 1600C printer.
Simply insert the color command
in front of the text you want to
colorize. Return to the “normal”
black color by inserting ¬C00. The
color commands are:
¬C00 - Black
¬C01 - Blue
¬C02 - Red
¬C03 - Magenta
¬C04 - Green
¬C05 - Turquoise/Cyan
¬C06 - Yellow
¬C07 - White
¬C08 - Black
¬C09 - Dark Blue
¬C10 - Orange
¬C11 - Purple
¬C12 - Dark Green
¬C13 - Dark Turquoise
¬C14 - Mustard
¬C15 - Grey
¬C16 - Brown
For example, to print the word
“red” in the color red in the
following sentence, type:
This prints ¬C02red¬C00 in red.
Alternately, you can select a color
through the Typestyle/color menu
of Office Version/400 (V3R1 or
later). This menu is accessed by
selecting F20 (Format Options), 1
(Document Options), 1 (Document
Format), and finally 3
(Typestyle/color).
