Outline Font, Download
Purpose: Downloads outline font descriptions.
Syntax: jnn....nn
where n is the information that describes all characters within the font.
You must send the font information to the printer as a string of ASCII
characters in hexadecimal form. The printer expects two hex digit bytes for
every 8-bit byte of information. Data must be ASCII characters, ranging
from 0 to 9 and A to F. All characters are loaded at once, not individually
as with bitmap fonts. The description for the whole font can be thousands
of characters long; however, the maximum message length is only 255.
Therefore, the font description may have to be split between successive j
commands.
Notes: The printer stores the incoming font description in the font you select
with the J command.
