HP 5961-0509 manual Previous Usage, Typeface Family Value Previous, Vendor Version

Previous Usage

The previous treatment of the Typeface field supported the LaserJet IIP, IID and LaserJet III family printers. It consisted of the Typeface Least Significant Byte (LSB; the original, one-byte typeface value used prior to the LaserJet IID printer) and the Typeface Most Significant Byte (MSB) in the font header.

The previous typeface family value field is shown below. It included a 4-bit field to specify the vendor number, a 2-bit field for the version number, and a 9-bit field which contained the typeface base number. The most significant bit of the MSB was always zero.
