Software Features
Bitmapped and scalable typefaces— In addition to its 79 internal bitmap fonts, the printer
provides 45 fully-scalable resident typefaces that are equivalent to HPLJ fonts. The scalable
typefaces can be used at any size desired up to 999.75 points, in 0.25-point increments.
A new printer control language, PRESCRIBE II, is provided with features including
advanced graphics capabilities that allow you to print any conceivable outline shape or solid

mands.
