1. The system and system software will not know that you have changed
font. This means that data will be transmitted to the printer as before
the font change. This will give you format and position problems.
Changing font
The font change command has one parameter, the GFID value . You can
change the contents of this value, if you wish to use a font that is not in the
list. See the paragraph below on how to define a font. You send the font
change command as follows:
&&??% %Y96,<n1>% &&??<space>
NOTE: This function cannot be saved in the permanent memory.
The command &&??% selects the character "%" as the escape character.
The escape character is a signal to the interface that the data stream
following is a command stream. The last command in the above line (&&??
<space>) erases the escape character again.
As mentioned above, the n1 value is the IBM value Global Font ID (GFID).
These values have been coded into the interface. When you enter a GFID
value, you automatically activate a font with a number of characteristics. See
the table below for the GFID values you can use and their characteristics.
