pclfont -- Command Prepare a PCL font for downloading via MLP pclfont [-f n] font [... font] The command pclfont prepares each font for downloading via the MLP spooler to a printer that runs the Hewlett-Packard Page Control Language (PCL). font must give the full path name of a PCL bitmapped ``soft font''. pclfont brackets each font with the PCL commands that tell the printer to load the font into a given ``slot'' in its memory, and to let the font reside permanently in memory, then writes the altered font to the standard output. The option -f names the slot into which you want to load font. If the command line names more than font, pclfont sequentially assigns slots beginning with slot n. If you do not use the option -f, pclfont assigns slots beginning with slot 1. The processed fonts can either be piped to the command lp or redirected into a file for later downloading. When downloaded via lp, you must use the MLP device hpfont. For example, to download fonts tr240bpn.usp and op240bpn.usp into slots 16 and 17 on your printer, use the command: pclfont -f 16 tr240bpn.usp op240bpn.usp | lp -dhpfont See Also commands, lp, printer, troff
