[mod.computers.laser-printers] How to change font on Imagen ?

abrams@MITRE.ARPA (Marshall D. Abrams) (09/24/86)

I need some help in changing the built-in font on an Imagen printer.
I am sending mail to the printer from MH.  If the mail was created using 80
columns, the hardcopy is almost edge-to-edge. I would like to use a smaller
font so that there are margins.

I could send the file through troff and set the point size, but that would
be very wastful of processinhg time.  Rather, I would like to include
appropriate commands in my shell script to instruct the printer to load
one of its built-in fonts.

I have been unable to get help locally and would appreciate whatever
assistance could be provided.  We are using a Sun version 3.  My
regular printer-type interface to the Imagen is the lpr command.
Please reply directly to the above return address; I am not a
subscriber to laser-lovers.

Sincerely,
