- Line Printer Soft Fonts
-
- The LaserJet + and some compatible laser printers lack several of the fonts
- found in the LaserJet II. Without these fonts you can't run standard programs
- like 4PRINT! This shareware soft font package solves part of that problem by
- including a landscape line printer font for use on those machines that don't
- come with such a font. This line printer font includes the full line drawing
- character set.
-
- Elfring Soft Fonts has a special conversion package that gives your LaserJet +
- or compatible printer the same set of soft fonts that are found in the LaserJet
- II. This font set includes portrait & landscape versions of 8.5 point 16.66
- pitch line printer, 12 point 10 pitch Courier, and 12 point 10 pitch Courier
- Bold. See the shareware registration sheet below for ordering information. We
- also have a large number of soft fonts and utilities for your laser printer.
-
-
- Using This Soft Font
-
- To use the LP085R16.USL, (line printer, landscape 8.5 point 16.66 pitch), soft
- font in conjuction with 4PRINT or any other software package you first have to
- send it to your laser printer. The process of sending a soft font to a laser
- printer is called downloading. The easiest way to download a soft font is to
- use a program to do this. Elfring Soft Fonts sells several different soft font
- downloaders. We have a shareware command line downloader available for $15,
- and a commercial memory resident downloader for $30. (You can also get the
- memory resident soft font downloader bundled with a set of Helv & Roman soft
- fonts for $55. {portrait 8, 10, 12, & 14 point medium/bold/italic + 18 & 24
- point bold})
-
- To download a soft font with MS-DOS commands you must create a batch file and
- two other disk files with an ASCII text editor capable of inserting Escape
- codes into a text file. The files should look as follows:
-
- Batch File ID1000 File PERM File
- ===========================================================================
- echo off <Esc>*c1000D <Esc>*c5F
- copy/b id1000 lpt1:
- copy/b lp080r16.usp lpt1:
- copy/b id1000 lpt1:
- copy/b perm lpt1:
-
- Note that the character sequence <Esc> stands for the escape key, and this
- batch file can only download one soft font since it also assigns the soft
- font ID number (1000)!
-
- Once the soft font is downloaded to your printer any other software package
- can use this font just as if it were working with a LaserJet II! You can
- select this soft font by sending the following character sequence to your
- printer:
-
- <Esc>&l1O<Esc>(10U<Esc>(s0p16.6h8.5v0s0b0T
