- Soft Fonts for the HP LaserJet+
-
-
- Having recently gained access to a LaserJet+, I decided to play around with
- the printer's ability to store fonts downloaded from the PC. Here are my
- first three attempts:
-
- TINY.SFP -- VERY small type, barely readable.
- LARGE.SFP -- large, bold letters (somewhat crude).
- LARGEHLW.SFP -- large, hollow letters.
-
- Use of these files is best explained via example. Let us assume that the
- LaserJet+ is attached to LPT1. To use the tiny font, enter:
-
- COPY TINY.SFP LPT1
-
- This will download the font to your printer (as font 0), then make the tiny
- font the primary font.
-
-
- WARNING: I actually don't use a LaserJet+, but a Dataproducts LZR-1200
- in HP LaserJet+ emulation mode. I have no way of guaranteeing
- that what works on an imitation will work on the real thing.
- If you have problems, feel free to contact me on Gene Plantz' BBS.
