2.If you only send a font change without also changing Lines Per Inch and/or Characters Per Inch, you could have format problems.

Changing font

The font change command has one parameter, the GFID value . You can change the contents of this parameter, if you wish to use a font that is not in the list. See the next chapter on how to define a font. You send the font change command as follows:

&&??% %Y96,<n1>% &&??<space>

The command &&??% selects the character "%" as the escape character. The escape character is a signal to the interface that the data stream following is a command stream. The last command in the above line (&&?? <space>) erases the temporary escape character again.

NOTE:

This function cannot be saved in the permanent memory.

Changing font example

&&??% %Y96,41% &&??

This will select the font defined as number GFID 41. It will also erase the escape character.

Other commands

The other command that can be used in connection with font selection, is:
