You need to use Printer Job Language (PJL) to set these parameters. Try sending the following: <esc>%-12345X@PJL @PJL DEFAULT FORMLINES=nnn @PJL DEFAULT FONTNUMBER=nnn @ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL where each nnn is replaced with the number you want. Make sure that you follow the line boundaries of the above example exactly; PJL, unlike PCL, is line-oriented. Alternatively, you can use the Windows or Mac software that came with the printer to set these values -- assuming that you have a suitable computer connected. -- Bruce --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Toback Tel: (602) 996-8601| My candle burns at both ends; OPT, Inc.
