Notes · When you see an asterisk on the display, the ID number has been used for other data or a macro. If you select the used ID number, the old data or macro is erased and replaced with the new data. · Once the data is saved, you can execute it with "EXECUTE DATA" or with a data execution command. · The data saved in the SAVE DATA mode can not be run with the macro execution command in HP LaserJet 4+ emulation. 4­36 CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL · Save Macro Note The "SAVE MACRO" menu appears only in the HP LaserJet 4+ emulation mode. If you have downloaded a macro in the printer's memory, you can save the macro on the installed flash memory card or HDD card.

MACRO ID=##### Select the ID with the v or w switch and press the SET switch again, so that the printer saves the macro with the selected ID.

You can execute a macro with the macro execution command. · Primary Font or Secondary Font Note The "PRIMARY FONT" and "SECONDARY FONT" menus appear only in the HP LaserJet 4+ emulation mode.

FONT ID=##### 4­37 USER'S GUIDE Select the ID with the v or w switch and press the SET switch again, so that the printer saves the font with the selected ID. Note When you see an asterisk on the display, the ID number has been used for another font. If you select the used ID number, the old font is erased and replaced with the new one. Whatever font you have selected with the FONT switch, the printer saves the font as a bitmapped font as long as the print size is no more than 24 points, so that the printer can print it faster than when they are not saved. It is recommended that you save the scalable font you frequently use for faster printing. Since the flash memory card or the HDD card is in the upper card slot A of the printer and fonts stored in the card behave in the same way as they would if they were in a dedicated Font Card, you can select the saved fonts as "SLOTFONT A" with the FONT switch or the font selection command from your software. You can check the saved fonts by printing the list of fonts with the TEST switch. Notes When you save the primary or secondary font, note the following: · The font is temporarily stored in the RAM of the printer before it is saved on the card. If the font data exceeds the RAM capacity, a memory full error occurs. As not all the font data has been stored in RAM, you cannot save the font to the card. [. . . ] ", " (space)", "$", " / ", "+", and "%" can be accepted as bar code data. The bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk " * " (start character and stop character).
