The LA310 MultiPrinter applies all built-in algorithmic transformations (bold,
slant, density, underlining, and so on) to the alternative typestyle or character
set in the same way as it does to the built-in fonts. All characters in the
alternative typestyle or character sets can be printed at any of the horizontal
pitches supported by the printer.
12.4 Select Graphic Rendition (SGR) — Cartridge Font
Selection
In the LA310 MultiPrinter, all ten font selection parameter values of the Select
Graphic Rendition (SGR) command are assigned the built-in Courier typestyle.
Font cartridges, when present, override these default font assignments.
The LA310 MultiPrinter suports one font cartridge position. Each typestyle in
the font cartridge will provide an SGR parameter value that will be assigned
to the typestyle, overriding the default assignment of the built-in typestyle at
power-up. Each LA310 font cartridge may provide one or two typestyles.
12.5 Density Selection (DECDEN)
The LA310 MultiPrinter supports built-in fonts for the Draft, High-Speed
Draft, and Near Letter Quality 2 (NLQ2) densities. An additional Near Letter
Quality (NLQ1) font is generated algorithmically from the Draft font.
Table 12–3 specifies the supported values for the DECDEN command.
