Bitmapped and Stick fonts cannot be edged and can be filled only with raster fill, shading, or PCL cross-hatch patterns. For more information see the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual. The syntax for this command is as follows: CF fill mode,[edge pen]; PARAMETERS: Fill Mode Specifies how the printer renders filled characters. Edge Pen For characters that are to be edged, this parameter indicates the pen that is used to edge the character (black or white, edged or not edged). PROGRAM: LEGEND: Ec = [Ctrl] [P] [Esc] in DOS EDIT. EcE Resets the printer. Ec%0B Enters HP-GL/2 mode. IN; Initializes HP-GL/2 mode. SP1; Selects pen number 1, (black). Even though there is no physical pen, the SP command must be used to enable printing.

PA1000,3000;DT*; Specifies absolute plotting and moves to (1000,3000); sets the Data Terminator ( DT ) to be an asterisk (The mode of the Data Terminator is not set so it defaults to a 1, which means it will not print).
