In general, when you send the escape sequence to select a font, the printer will try to find the closest matching font in its memory. In other words, just because the command to select a font is available, that doesn't mean the font is.

On most HP printers you can get a list of the fonts available in the printer along with the escape sequence for printing them by selecting "PRINT PCL TYPEFACE LIST" or "PRINT PCL FONTS" etc... from the TEST or INFORMATION menu on the printer front panel.' at: '<!-- 37629.5370949074 EOR -->'

Hi.  I have used the barcode escape sequence esc & "0Y" & esc & "(s32V" & esc & "(s0B.  With the data I want to barcode afterwards.  But it is just printing my data in text.  Do I need to create a special font for this?  Thanks</BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm just getting into using PCL within old dBase programs. I am having difficulty arranging columns on a printed page with scalable fonts. Is there a command to tell the printer to start printing at a particular col. Sorry to bother you and thanks for a reply. </BLOCKQUOTE>

|Insert '&lt;esc>*p#Y where &lt;esc> is the escape character and # is the number of pixels (usually 300 per inch) from the left edge of the printable area.

Be sure to use NON-proportional scaleable fonts (Courier, Lucinda or like that).' at: '<!-- 37650.4808796296 EOR -->'

    : I use HPGL(2) in 2D mode, and I want initialise the axis so that the origin
    is in the upper left corner, the X-axis oriented to the right, and the Y-axis
    oriented down. How can I do ? Is the IP command helpful for this operation
    ?<BR>
