IBM Proprinter X24E Emulation (Mode 1)
7-5
By giving a particular value for the U6 and U7 parameters, it is possible to use another
symbol set which the Diablo does not have. For details, see
LaserJet Symbol Sets on
page 37.
At power-up or after a reset, the printing system defaults to LetterGothic (12 points, 10
cpi). This default font emulates the IBM printer’s Sans-serif 10cpi font. The default font
cannot be changed in the IBM Proprinter X24E emulation. (The FRPO C5, C2, and C3
commands will be ignored in the IBM Proprinter X24E emulation.)
The printing system also emulates three other IBM-printer fonts: Courier, Prestige Elite,
and Courier Proportional (See the table on next page). These fonts can be obtained by
embedded commands or by using a printer driver from your word-processing software
that supports the IBM Proprinter X24E. No PRESCRIBE commands are needed. An
embedded command gives double-wide versions and another give double-high version
of all four fonts. Samples are shown on the next page.
