Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Font Size when printing too big.... Post 302085178 by rogue on Tuesday 15th of August 2006 10:41:03 PM

Your printer accepts PCL code. Therefore, vi a file and do the following:

<crtl>v<ctrl>[(s0p12H

That is a zero not an uppercase "o". <ctrl> v will allow you input the escape character sequence ^[. The 12 is the pitch size. A larger number will give a smaller font size.

the line should like this:

^[(s0p12H

save and quit.

on the unix command line type:

cat <pcl file you created> <text file you wish to print>|lp -d<printer>
