Selecting PCL 5e fonts
Selecting PCL 5e fonts
Print a PCL font list to view the command for each internal font (see PCL or PS font list on page 173). A sample section is
shown below. Notice the two variable boxes for symbol set and point size.
These variables must be filled in, or the product will use defaults. For example, if you want a symbol set that contains
line-draw characters, select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set. Other common symbol set codes are listed in the
table in Font selection on page 235
.
Note Fonts are either fixed or proportional in spacing. The product contains both fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and
Lineprinter) and proportional fonts (CG Times, Arial, Times New Roman, and others).
Fixed-spaced fonts are generally used in applications such as spreadsheets and databases, where it is important for
columns to line up vertically. Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in text and word processing applications.
