Should give you 10 CPI, 8LPI, Letter Gothic semi-bold (or Line Printer on a
LaserJet II/III)

Subject: [HP3000-L] Format file for LJet Printer


I'm trying to setup a laserjet printer format file to be used in the ENV
parameter of a FILE command. (first-time experience)

I need to print 7.5-8 lines per inch.  Printing either Letter Gothic 10
from a MSWord document (12 cpi and 7.5 lines/inch) or my good old line
printer (10 cpi and 8 lines/inch) is perfect.  When I try setting up the
'(s' escape sequence, the closest I can get is 14 cpi and 6 lines/inch
(after many experiments) using the following sequence:

The 'HP PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual' insinuates that
I can use Lineprinter typeface, but it looks like I need the 'HP PCL 5
Comparison Guide' to get the font codes.  Don't have one and can't seem to
find it at the hp manual site.

Also, I'm getting two sets of my test printouts with a blank page before
eash set.

Can anyone give me some suggestions??  It would be my best holiday present.

I'm starting with the following sequences:
