FONT Switch
Pressing the FONT switch allows you to select fonts and symbol/character
sets.
Note
When you use the FONT switch, note the following:
The FONT switch is effective in the HP LaserJet, EPSON FX-850,
and IBM Proprinter XL modes. However the settings are subject to the
current emulation mode. Note that the FONT switch does not work in
the BR-Script 2 mode.
If the application software supports font and symbol/character set
selection, you do not need to set them with the FONT switch. The
software or command setting overrides the switch setting.
If you want to use optional fonts other than the printers resident fonts,
be sure to install a font card that has your desired fonts. The printer
automatically selects the font that has exactly the same or similar
characteristics as those you set through the software or with a
command. If the installed font card happens to have a font of similar
characteristics, the printer will print with an unexpected font.
You can store the fonts you require on a flash memory card or HDD
card only in the HP LaserJet mode or BR-Script 2 mode when one is
installed. See CARD OPERATION.”
Setting the Font and Symbol Set in the HP LaserJet Mode
When the HP LaserJet emulation mode has been selected, the font and
symbol set can be set separately as the primary or secondary font.
The display shows the following setting menus:
PRIMARY FONT SELECT FONT p Set the primary font.
SYMBOL SET p Set the symbol set.
TABLE PRINT p Print the code table.
