Caring for Cards
Observe the following precautions.
❐ Do not drop, crush, or bend cards. The card’s natural curvature does not affect its
operation, so do not try to straighten a card by bending it.
❐ Avoid touching the small gold contacts on the card’s edge.
❐ If the card gets dirty, clean the connectors by wiping the edge with a clean tissue.
Do not use water, alcohol, or other solvents.
❐ Keep the cards in their cases and anti-static bags when you are not using them.
❐ Do not store cards in direct sunlight or near a source of heat. Font cards can with -
stand temperatures ranging from -30 to 65 °C (-20 to 150 °F), and can tolerate up to
90% humidity.
❐ Be careful when you insert and remove a card. You can damage it by attempting to
insert it the wrong way or by using too much force. Follow the procedures on page
11 when inserting or removing a card.
Using Font Cards
- Selecting a font with your application software -
When the printer is in 3/P/Si (HP LaserJet) mode, you can use your application soft -
ware to select the fonts you wish to use. First, be sure to select HP LaserJet IIIP or a
similar printer from the program’s installation or printer selection menu. For a list of the
printer types that you can specify with your software, see pages 16 and 17. After you
set up your application software, you can specify the fonts you need to use from within
the program.
If your program does not provide commands that allow you to select the font you need,
you can use the FONT feature (see pages B- 5 and C-2) or you can use printer com -
mand sequences (see pages B- 21 and C-8).
- Selecting a font with the Selectype FONT procedure -
Using Selectype, you can only select one font for the entire document , whereas appli-
cation packages often allow you to select more than one font within the same docu -
ment.
Only those fonts designed for the currently selected orientation (portrait or landscape)
will appear on the display.
You can use the SAVE MACRO routine to store the font setting if you wish to have a
font from a font card as the default font.
