USING  THE CHARACTER FILL MODE COMMAND

     
     The Character Fill Mode ( CF ) command specifies the way
     scalable fonts are filled and edged. 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).

                                   the SP command must be
                                   used to enable printing.
