CHAPTER 9: DOWNLOADABLE FONTS/GRAPHICS

The 400 is capable of storing up to 20 downloadable fonts/graphics. The printer treats
downloadable fonts/graphics just like the standard bit mapped fonts mentioned in chapter 4.
You may either purchase downloadable fonts from Microcom (see section 11.3) or use the
Microcom "JET2400" software utility to create an 400 file from your own collection of LaserJet
II™ compatible fonts. (Note: The "JET2400" program uses the Portrait or 0 degree source
rotation for both normal and rotated fonts.)

Downloadable font/graphic fields use the same structure as bit mapped fields. The only
difference is that the TCI must be 8 for downloadable fonts/graphics. The CGN refers to the
actual downloaded font/graphic to be used. (Note: Please refer to chapter 8 for a detailed
description of the file structure.)

The following is a list of commands referring to downloadable font/graphic functions.
