Y'know, I just did this last week! As it turned out, my drivers
absolutely refused to *use* the .pk files, but I did talk Metafont
into generating *something.* 

I'm not sure it worked, however, since Metafont insisted that
circle10 at magstep0 meant you had
circle10.2607pk
and Im sure that's not right. :)

However, the file containing the modes (on my machine at least)
is...hmm, this may not help you...amiga.mf, and it's in the
inputs directory. Needless to say, I'm running it on an Amiga.

Here's my entry:

mode_def lmtwelve =  % Lasermaster 1200                    
 proofing:=0;      % no, we're not making proofs           
 fontmaking:=1;      % yes, we are making a font           
 tracingtitles:=0;      % no, don't show titles in the log 
 pixels_per_inch:=1200;    %                               
 blacker:=0;      % don't make the pens any blacker        
 fillin:=0;        % and don't compensate for fillin       
 o_correction:=0;        
 aspect_ratio:=800/1200; % vertically it's 800 dpi.        
 enddef;
