Diablo 630 Emulation (Mode 2) Fonts can be selected by placing font commands in the file to be printed, or using SETF (set alternate font) and ALTF (change to alternate font) commands. To substitute scalable fonts for the embedded fonts using SETF command, employ the FSET command to apply the appropriate font number for that scalable font. The default font mode (FTMD) is 0, so the printing system will not adjust character spacing, line spacing, or page orientation. The red/black ribbon feature of the Diablo 630 printer is implemented in an interesting way. The printing system translates the black ribbon command internally into an ALTF 0 command, and the red ribbon command into an ALTF 1 command. It also uses two pairs of SETF default values: Ribbon color Simulated bitmap font SETF default value Black CourierBM12-Roman SETF 0, 1; Red Dutch 801BM10-Roman SETF 1, 2; Accordingly, if you use the embedded command that asks for red ribbon, you will get bitmap font 2, Dutch801BM10-Roman, which the printing system emulates using a resident scalable font. This font is proportionally spaced, so you should also specify proportional spacing with an embedded command. When you change back to black ribbon, the printing system changes to bitmap font 1, CourierBM12-Roman, also emulated using a scalable font. With SETF commands you can select any two fonts you like which correspond to the black and red ribbons. For example, you can have black mean normal CGTimes and red mean CGTimes italicized. The appropriate setup is shown below, together with a short file and the printed result. !R!

Diablo 630 Emulation (Mode 2)

7-13

Fonts can be selected by placing font commands in the file to be printed, or using SETF

(set alternate font) and ALTF (change to alternate font) commands. To substitute scalable

fonts for the embedded fonts using SETF command, employ the FSET command to

apply the appropriate font number for that scalable font. The default font mode (FTMD)

is 0, so the printing system will not adjust character spacing, line spacing, or page orien-

tation.

The red/black ribbon feature of the Diablo 630 printer is implemented in an interesting

way. The printing system translates the black ribbon command internally into an ALTF 0

command, and the red ribbon command into an ALTF 1 command. It also uses two pairs

of SETF default values:

Accordingly, if you use the embedded command that asks for red ribbon, you will get

bitmap font 2, Dutch801BM10-Roman, which the printing system emulates using a resi-

dent scalable font. This font is proportionally spaced, so you should also specify propor-

tional spacing with an embedded command. When you change back to black ribbon, the

printing system changes to bitmap font 1, CourierBM12-Roman, also emulated using a

scalable font.

With SETF commands you can select any two fonts you like which correspond to the

black and red ribbons. For example, you can have black mean normal CGTimes and red

mean CGTimes italicized. The appropriate setup is shown below, together with a short

file and the printed result.

For red-ribbon, put ESC A (^[A in binary notation) at the point you would start to print

in normal CGTimes, and put ESC B (^[B in binary notation) at the point to end using the

font.
