FONT Command
•
The FONT STATUS command without the DETAIL option lists all font jobs under
the following headings:
FONT JOB
•
The FONT STATUS command with the DETAIL option lists each font job in the
following format:
FONT: font-name
JOB: job-number
•
Multiple jobs sent for printing to a location configured with a font job have the font
printed before each print job. For example, assume a printer configured as follows:
Assume you send print job 1 through #A.NOFONT and print jobs 2 and 3 through
#B.FONT. The data sent to the printer is:
Job 1 data
Font ABC data
Job 2 data
Font ABC data
Job 3 data
•
Multiple copies specified for a print job sent to a location configured with a font job
have the font job printed only before the first copy. For example, assume the
following printer configuration:
Assume you send two copies of print job 4 and one copy of print job 5 through
#C.FONT. The data sent to the printer is:
Font ABC data
Job 4 data
Job 4 data
Font ABC data
Job 5 data
The font job data is printed only once before the first copy of print job 4. A font job
is downloaded to a printer only when the device is opened by a location associated
with a font.
Considerations for Authorized Users
•
Only authorized users can define a special control job (font-name) in the spooler.
The special control job might consist of downloadable VFC commands or possibly
a special header page.
