HP 5961-0509 Font Selectionby ID Command, Characteristic is not changed, 26PCL Font Selection

Font Selectionby ID Command

Soft fonts can be specified using their associated ID numbers. (ID numbers are assigned to soft fonts using the Font ID command described in Chapter 9, Font Management).

EC ( # X - Designates soft font # as primary

EC ) # X - Designates soft font # as secondary

		#	= font ID number
	Default	=	0
	Range	=	0 - 32767
	If the designated font is present, the font is selected as the primary/
	secondary font and all primary/secondary font characteristics in the
	printer’s Font Select Table are set to those of the selected font.
	However, if the selected font is proportionally spaced, the pitch
	characteristic is not changed.
	If the designated font is not present, the current font is retained.
Notes	If a scalable font is selected using an ID number, send the Height or
	Pitch command (Height for proportional, Pitch for fixed) to specify the

height or pitch; otherwise, the characteristic is determined by the value of the former font (as listed in the font select table).

If the font is a scalable typeface, symbol set is determined from the values contained in the printer’s font selection table. To specify a different symbol set, send a symbol set selection command prior to the Font Selection ID command.

For shared or multi-user environments, Hewlett-Packard recommends that soft fonts be selected by characteristics rather than ID number.
