FI, Select Primary Font This command allows any accessible font that has been assigned a font ID number to be selected as the primary (standard) font (the font characteristics are assigned to the standard font). As mentioned, the font must be accessible to the printer as either a resident font, a downloaded font, or a loaded cartridge font. To be selected, the font must have been previously assigned a font ID number in PCL mode. Also, for scalable fonts, the FI command must be preceded by an SD command specifying the font's point size or pitch (see the "Using the FI Command" example). FI font_ ID[;] Parameter Format font_ID integer Functional Range Default 0 to 32767 no default Notes When the printer receives this command and the requested font is present, the primary font characteristics are set to those of the requested font. If the selected font is proportionally spaced, the pitch characteristic is not changed. This command does not select the font for label printing if you are currently using the alternate font. The FI and FN commands implicitly change the value of SB. For example, if SB = 0 and FI selects a bitmap font, SB is set to 1. This affects the performance of certain HP-GL/2 commands. Refer to SB command later in this chapter. Example:Using the FI Command The following example demonstrates assigning a font ID number from within PCL mode, entering HP-GL/2 mode, using the FI command to select that font, and printing a short line of text. 23-54 The Character Group EN
