Operation Description 0 Sets the current Font ID to the given String ID. This operation allows the user to set the current PCL Font ID to a string name, which gives the user the ability to download fonts to a string name. If the current Font ID has been set with both the Alphanumeric ID command and the Font ID command (?*c#D), the ID last sent takes precedence. For example, if the current font ID was set to 10 and then to "Font1", the current font ID would be "Font1". 1 Associates the current Font ID to the font with the String ID supplied. This operation finds the font with the supplied String ID and assigns the current Font ID to that font so that the font now has two names. The original font name is used to perform font management commands on the font, and the new associated name is used when selecting the font for usage. Note that since fonts with string names can be associated to numeric Font IDs, these fonts are selectable in HP-GL/2 using the numeric Font ID. 2 Selects the font referred to by the String ID as primary. This operation finds the associated font using the supplied String ID and specifies that font as the current primary font. The command is ignored if there is no font with that String ID. 3 Selects the font referred to by the String ID as secondary. This operation functions the same as the primary font specification (operation number 2), however this command specifies the font as secondary. 4 Sets the current Macro ID to the String ID. This operation allows the user to set the current PCL Macro ID to a String ID name. If the current Macro ID has been set with both the Alphanumeric ID command and the Macro ID command (?&f#Y), the ID last sent takes precedence. For example, if the current Macro ID was set to 10 and then to "Macro1", the current macro ID would be "Macro1". 5 Associates the current Macro ID to the supplied String ID. This operation finds the macro with the supplied String ID and assigns the current Macro ID to that macro. This macro then has two names. The original Macro ID name is used to perform macro management commands on the macro, and the new associated name is used when executing, calling, or overlaying the macro. 20 Deletes the font association named by the current Font ID. The font must have been associated with an alphanumeric Font ID (using operation 0). No String ID is supplied (?&n1W20). This command removes the alphanumeric font name association, however the disk resource itself is not changed. ENWW Printer-Specific Differences 2-79

Operation

Description

Sets the current Font ID to the given String ID.

This operation allows

the user to set the current PCL Font ID to a string name, which gives the

user the ability to download fonts to a string name. If the current Font ID

has been set with both the Alphanumeric ID command and the Font ID

command (

*c#D), the ID last sent takes precedence. For example, if

the current font ID was set to 10 and then to “Font1”, the current font ID

would be “Font1”.

Associates the current Font ID to the font with the String ID

supplied.

This operation finds the font with the supplied String ID and

assigns the current Font ID to that font so that the font now has two

names. The original font name is used to perform font management

commands on the font, and the new associated name is used when

selecting the font for usage. Note that since fonts with string names can

be associated to numeric Font IDs, these fonts are selectable in

HP-GL/2 using the numeric Font ID.

Selects the font referred to by the String ID as primary.

This

operation finds the associated font using the supplied String ID and

specifies that font as the current primary font. The command is ignored if

there is no font with that String ID.

Selects the font referred to by the String ID as secondary.

This

operation functions the same as the primary font specification (operation

number 2), however this command specifies the font as secondary.

Sets the current Macro ID to the String ID.

This operation allows the

user to set the current PCL Macro ID to a String ID name. If the current

Macro ID has been set with both the Alphanumeric ID command and the

Macro ID command (

&f#Y), the ID last sent takes precedence. For

example, if the current Macro ID was set to 10 and then to “Macro1”, the

current macro ID would be “Macro1”.

Associates the current Macro ID to the supplied String ID.

This

operation finds the macro with the supplied String ID and assigns the

current Macro ID to that macro. This macro then has two names. The

original Macro ID name is used to perform macro management

commands on the macro, and the new associated name is used when

executing, calling, or overlaying the macro.

Deletes the font association named by the current Font ID.

The font

must have been associated with an alphanumeric Font ID (using

operation 0). No String ID is supplied (

&n1W20). This command

removes the alphanumeric font name association, however the disk

resource itself is not changed.
