CHAPTER 8: SOFT FONTS
The Microcom 465 printer is capable of storing up to 8 soft fonts in non-volatile memory. The
printer treats soft fonts just like the standard bit mapped fonts mentioned in chapter 4.5.1. Since
the printer has the ability to rotate characters, only the Portrait or 0 degree rotation is required. You
may either purchase downloadable soft fonts from Microcom (see section 9.3) or use the Microcom
"JET2MSF" software utility to create an MSF file from your own collection of LaserJet II™
compatible soft fonts.
Soft Font fields use the same structure a bit mapped fields. The only difference is that the TCI must
be 8. The CGN refers to the actual soft font to be used (1-8).
The following is a list of commands referring to soft font functions.
