Downloading Fonts To Your Printer

Windows:
The Windows utility program Downloadwin.exe will send a font to any Windows printer. To use this utility, first enter in the name and path of the font you want to download, or use the browse button to locate a font. Your default printer is automatically selected. If this is not the printer you want to send the font to, click on Select Printer to pick a different printer. You can enter an ID number for the font or default to the number shown on the screen. To download the font click on Download Font button. The program will tell you when the font download is complete.

DOS Batch:
You can print a sample of one of this signature font on any HP LaserJet or compatible 
printer. From DOS, all you need to do is run the enclosed batch file, as follows:

SIGN

This batch file assumes your printer is connected to LPT1:. If you use a different printer 
port, just add the port in the batch file command line. For example, if you use LPT2: type:

SIGN LPT2:

If you are using a different operating system, do the following:

1) copy the binary file sig014.bin to your printer
2) copy the test print file sign.tst to your printer

Other:
Each of these fonts must be sent to your printer (downloaded) before they can be selected and printed. If you are on a PC, you may be able to use our Download utility (see the documentation file download.txt for more information on this program) to send the fonts to your printer. If you are on a computer other than a PC, how you download a font to your printer depends on the particular computer and operating system. Basically you need to:

1)	Assign the font an ID number by sending the following PCL command:
<Esc>*c###D  where <Esc> stands for the escape character (1B in Hex)
and ### is the font ID number in ASCII, say 10 for ID 10.

2)	Copy the font file to the printer

3)	Repeat step 1 above

4)	Send the following PCL command to make the font permanent (otherwise it gets erased when you reset the printer.) Note that "permanent" fonts are lost when the power to the printer is turned off.
<Esc>*c5F

To download a font to your printer and assign ID number 23, send:

<Esc>*c23D
copy the font file to the printer
<Esc>*c23D
<Esc>*c5F

Note that you can also select a font by the ID number you assigned when you downloaded the font. To select a font by its ID number use:
<Esc>(###X
where <Esc> is the escape character (1B hex) and ### is the ID number you assigned to the font when it was downloaded.

  To select the font in the download example above with ID 23 send: <Esc>(23X
