To change a font, insert a font-
change command at the
beginning of the text where the
change is to take place. For
example, to bold the word
“saves” in the following sentence
(assuming the current font is
Courier, 12 CPI or pitch, 10
point), type:
Quality ¬Q88saves¬Q85 you time
and money.
Here’s how the print will look:
Quality saves you time
and money.
The ¬Q85 following “saves” returns
the printing to the original font.
• ¬F—Font change commands
using the capital letter “F” allow
the user to access all of the
scalable fonts available on a
printer. Appendix B shows the
typestyle numbers assigned to
the supported fonts. Notice that
unlike the typestyle numbers
used with ¬Q commands, the
typestyle numbers in Appendix B
describe only the typestyle of the
supported font. The size of the
desired font is entered separately
in the font change command.
For example, to increase the size
of the word “saves” in the
following sentence to 30 points
(assuming the current font is
Times, 12 point), type:
Quality ¬F6199,30saves¬F6199,12
you time and money.
Here’s how the print will look:
Quality saves you time and money.
The ¬F6199,12 following “saves”
returns the printing to the original
font. The numbers following the
comma (¬F6199,30 and ¬F6199,12)
set the point size of a proportional
font (such as Times) and the pitch
size of a fixed pitch (such as
Courier).
To print fonts that are not already
supported through your PQ-8, refer
to Section 6.3.

The printer prints up to 66 lines at 6
LPI in HP emulation mode (the line
spacing will be compressed slightly
to fit). The System/36 only allows
65 lines per page. If there are one or
two lines at the top of a new page,
more lines per page have been
formatted than can print.
