The laser printer just zips down this chain of attributes one by one,
eliminating fontsthat don’t match what you want, until it gets down to one
uniquefont that matches your request. If the printer matches down to, say,
styleor weight but can go no further, it will give you its closest font to your
request.
And if you don’t specify aparticular value for some attribute, the printer
assume’syouwant the value that attribute had in the last font you specified
(orthe default value if you ‘vejust turned on the printer). This can save you
someeffort: if thefont youwant has an attribute thesame as the current font,
you don’t have to specify that attribute again.
Orientation
Portrait orientation prints text across the width of apage. Landscape
orientation prints text sidewaysup the length of apage.
The StarLaserPrinter 4111ismore flexibleabout orientation than most other
laser printers; it lets you simply rotate any portrait font to the landscape
orientationor vice versa. To start you off when you change orientation, the
printer resets all its margins and its column and line definitions to their
default settings.
When you want to select the opposite orientation,send this command:
<ESC>&t’nO
in which’fornyou put Oto get portrait orientation,
1to get landscape orientation,
2to get upside-down portrait orientation,
or 3to get upside-down landscape orientation.
