3.4.3Creating printouts with special formats

Usually, a printer is not only capable of printing data on paper but can also do this in different formats. Therefore Xprint V7.0 also allows you to influence the formatting by specifying font settings, the page format, and the character set to be used.

Printing a document with different font settings

The following options allow you to change the default font for a printout. What you can modify depends on the printer you use. If you use the xpshow -pclcommand and specify the PCL set for the selected printer, you can display a list of the fonts, styles, character pitches etc. that are supported by the printer, e.g.: xpshow -pclHP-LASERJET-di LONG.
