10.11Font Selection

10.11.1Font Selection by Attribute

The user requests a font by designating its attributes with the following commands. For the HP DeskJet 600 Series printers, successful selection requires the selected font is either one of the built-in bitmap fonts or a soft font that has been downloaded to the printer. For the HP Desk- Jet 850, 870, 890 Series printers, successful selection only requires that the typeface speci- fied is one of those included in the printer’s firmware; any specified point size will be generated by the printer’s font scaling technology.

Symbol set identification value

from the table

Default

10U - (PC-8, Code Page 437)

Range

n/a

Identifies the set of symbols in a font, consists of a decimal value and a letter value.

The ID (identification number) consists of a number portion and a letter portion. For example, to specify ASCII (0U) as the symbol set for the primary font, send Esc(0U. Some of the possi- ble values for the identification number (ID) are listed on the symbol set tables on the following pages.

The legal range of the number portion of ID is 0 to 2047. The legal range of the letter portion of

ID is the upper-case ASCII characters “A” through “Z”, except for “X”. Symbol sets with IDs of “X” can only be selected with the Font ID. “Q” is used with HP “Specials” symbol sets and not recommended for general use. “Y” is used for barcode symbol sets.

PC-8, Code Page 437 (10U) is the default primary and secondary symbol set; but a user- default may be selected. PC-8 is selected if the specified symbol set does not exist or cannot be satisfied by any font.
