Function Select Font All
ASCII [ESC] + 3 <ID>
Hexadecimal 1BH 2BH 31H
Decimal <27> <43> <51>
Description The [ESC] + 3 command selects the font for printing. This command is
used to select a previously loaded font based on its alias.
Note: Selecting font 0 will select the linked font. If the selected font does not
exist, the previous font will remain in effect.
Function Define a Stacked or Linked Font All
ASCII [ESC] + S <ID
1
> <ID
2
> <ID
2
> … <0>
Hexadecimal 1BH 2BH 53H
Decimal <27> <43> <83>
Description The [ESC] + S command defines but does not select a stacked or linked
font set. This command will define a linked list of previously loaded and aliased fonts
into a linked font stack. The font ID is the same ID as in the select font command. Up
to 8 fonts may be linked. The last entry must be 0. If the font does not exist, it will not
be made part of the link.
Note: You must select font 0 to activate the linked font.
Function Select Font by name All
ASCII [ESC] + N <FileName> <0>
Hexadecimal 1BH 2BH 31H
Decimal <27> <43> <51>
Description The [ESC] + N command selects the font for printing by file name. This
command is used to select a previously loaded font by its file name. If the selected
font does not exist, the previous font will remain in effect.
Note: This command may be undesirable because it embeds in the
application a file name that you may wish to change in the future. By using
the Alias ID the font name may change, but the application will remain
constant.
