Character Descriptor and Data
Purpose The Character Descriptor and Data command is used for
downloading a character to the printer. The downloaded
character has the ASCII character code previously assigned
through the Character Code command.
Syntax
E (s#W[character descriptor + data]
Hex 1B 28 73 # 57
Dec 27 40 115 # 87
where # is the number of bytes (up to 32767) in the character
descriptor and data following the command. (The brackets are
not to be entered.)
The character descriptor and data contains byte values for the
following characteristics:
• Orientation
• Left offset
• Top offset
• Character width
• Character height
• Delta X
• Character data.
Note: The 4213 and LaserJet resident fonts do not have identical
character spacing (height and width). The differences between
characters are slight but become more noticeable on a full page
of text. This issue of character spacing does not apply to HP
Soft Fonts or to 4213 cartridge fonts.
For information on how to format a character descriptor and data
block, refer to the Hewlett-Packard Laser Printer Technical
Reference Manual.
