DOWNLOAD SOFT FONTS
Soft Fonts are supplied as files on flexible disk and
then transferred (downloaded) into the printer's user
memory (RAM). Once a soft font has been downloaded into
the printer's RAM, it may be selected for printing.
First, the following files should be created (create
one ID file for every font you want to download).
NOTE: If using DOS Edit, =
[Ctrl][P] [Esc]
FILENAME FILE CONTENTS AND
EXPLANATION
ID1 *c1D
This assigns ID# 1 to the
next font to be downloaded
perm *c5F
This makes the previously
downloaded font permanent
ID2 *c2D
This assigns ID# 2 to the
next font to be downloaded
After the above files have been created, you may
download fonts using the following steps:
copy ID1 lpt1: Copies the ID1 file to the
printer
copy /b Copies the font file to
c:\fonts\lp085r16.pcp the printer as a binary
lpt1: file (use proper font
filename and path)
copy perm lpt1: Sends the printer command
to make the font permanent
copy ID2 lpt1: Copies the ID2 file to the
printer
copy /b Copies the second font
c:\fonts\lp085r16.r8p file to the printer
lpt1:
copy perm lpt1: Sends the printer command
to make the font permanent
To verify that the fonts have been downloaded, print
out a PCL Typeface List, or for the
LaserJet 4L print a Self-Test (see the User's Manual
for your printer for instructions).
