How to customize default printer settings?
How to customize default printer settings?
(OP)
Hi all,
Can we specify the default printing settings of a printer using PCL commands?
For example, I would like to make my printer's default settings as,
Font - Letter gothic 17 chars/inch and 8 lines/inch.
Margin - 2 columns left(&a2L) and 2 lines top(&l2E).
Orientation - Landscape
My requirement is, if I am not specifying anything in my program, the printer should take these settings, and if I am giving some commands explicitly, they should over ride these defaults. Could anyone of you please help me to achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
RNTH.

with the printers LCD or whatever method it uses.
Secondarily, always use the font/size that you want when
printing. That is, always program it in.
