- USING GRAPHIC MACROS ON A HEWLETT PACKARD LASERJET PLUS, SERIES II OR
- COMPATIBLE PRINTER.
-
-
-
- Before you can use graphic macros, you must load the images to your HP LaserJet
- Plus, Series II or compatible printer's memory. This can be done by using the
- DOS command:
- A> COPY *.MAC PRN this will copy two macros to the printer
- A> COPY *.OVR PRN this will copy a letterhead overlay macro
-
- This will copy the two image files to the printer as well as the sample
- letterhead overlay macro. The logo has a macro id of 1 and the signature a
- macro id of 2. The letterhead macro has a macro id of 3. These numbers will be
- referenced later in this document.
-
- To use the Graphic Macros within your word processor or other application
- program, you must have the ability to insert a printer command (escape sequence)
- at the point where you wish the image to print.
-
- The escape sequence remains constant for a given image. The method of entering
- the escape sequence will vary depending upon what software you are using.
-
- To print the logo, position your cursor where you want the image to appear. The
- escape sequence is:
- <ESC>&f1y3X print the logo, or
- <ESC>&f2y3X print the signature, or
- <ESC>&f3y3X print the letterhead
-
- When printing the letterhead, the position of your cursor is not important.
- The overlay macro contains all of the positioning information. It is only
- necessary to have the printer command on the same page.
-
- Brief instructions for various word processors follow. Please check your word
- processor documentation to clarify any questions you may have. The following
- represent only a single method of inserting an escape sequence in a document for
- each application program. There may be other methods available for
- accomplishing the same thing.

-
- DISPLAYWRITE 4
-
- Displaywrite 4 will require the modification of your Printer Function Table. If
- you are using a PFT supplied by IBM, the PFT may be too large to edit. If you
- are using a PFT that you created yourself or received from Hewlett Packard, you
- will probably have no problems.
-
- You should create a User Defined Code for each graphic macro you wish to use.
- Start at the Displaywrite 4 Main Menu:
- 9 profiles
- 6 revise table
- ENTER next screen
- filename.PFT name of the LaserJet printer function table
- 6 User-Defined Controls
- # enter a number from 1-999 for the control number/macro
- number you will use. For this example, use 1 for the logo
- and 2 for the signature.
- Enter the escape sequence in hexadecimal representation:
- 1B 26 66 31 79 33 58 print the logo, or,
- 1B 26 66 32 79 33 58 print the signature, or,
- 1B 26 66 33 79 33 58 print the letterhead
- ENTER to save the control code
- ESC exit from control code menu
- ESC exit from Revise Table
- ENTER end and save table
- ESC return to main menu
-
- To use the graphic macro within your document, place the cursor where you would
- want the image to appear. Then:
- F8 instructions
- 5 User-Defined Controls
- # the number of the control code you wish to use:
- 1 for the logo, 2 for the signature, or,
- 3 for the letterhead overlay
-

-
- At the point where you would like the image to appear, enter the escape
- character by holding down the ALT key and entering 027 from the numeric keypad.
- Release the ALT key and enter the balance of the escape sequence.
- ALT-027 &f1y3X (no space) to print the logo, or,
- ALT-027 &f2y3X (no space) to print the signature, or,
- ALT-027 &f3y3X (no space) to print the letterhead overlay
-
-
-
- MULTIMATE
-
- At the point where you would like the image to appear, you must enter the escape
- sequence by entering each character from the numeric keypad. Each character
- must be preceded by an ALT-A.
-
- The decimal equivalent of the escape sequence is:
- 027 038 102 049 121 051 088 print the logo, or,
- 027 038 102 050 121 051 088 print the signature, or,
- 027 038 102 051 121 051 088 print the letterhead overlay
-
- To print the logo, you would enter the following:
- ALT-A release the ALT key
- ALT-027 Hold down ALT key, enter 0 2 7 from the numeric key pad, release
- the ALT key
- ALT-A release the ALT key
- ALT-038 Hold down ALT key, enter 0 3 8 from the numeric key pad, release
- the ALT key
- ALT-A release the ALT key
- ALT-102 Hold down ALT key, enter 1 0 2 from the numeric key pad, release
- the ALT key
- ALT-A release the ALT key
- ALT-049 Hold down ALT key, enter 0 4 9 from the numeric key pad, release
- the ALT key
- etc.

- Choose the CTRL + key combination you wish to assign the macro to. This example
- will use CTRL-L for the logo, CTRL-S for the signature, and, CTRL-M for the
- letterhead overlay. You must enter the escape sequence using the decimal
- equivalents of the individual characters. The first character is the decimal
- equivalent of the character that will display on the screen. Enter the control
- sequence as follows:
-
- CTRL-L 242 27 38 102 49 121 51 88 print the logo, or
