Understanding printer default fonts
The default font for this printer is 12-point Courier in the PC-8 symbol
set. The printer uses the default font only if another font has not been
specified.
Changing the default font
You can select a different default font from the printer control panel.
See “Selecting PCL fonts through the printer control panel” on
page 119.
Selecting a font other than the default
● You can request a font from within most software applications.
● You can send a PCL printer command requesting a font different
from the default. For information on printer PCL commands, see
Appendix B
or the PCL/PJL Technical Reference Package for this
printer. (See page 32
for ordering information.)
Font selection priority
The printer selects printer fonts in the following order:
1 soft fonts (downloaded fonts)
2 fonts on DIMMs
3 internal fonts
In order to select a font, the font must be available from one of these
sources. If the font you request is not available, the printer selects the
closest match based on individual font characteristics (PCL only).
