Selecting fonts
You can select fonts in two ways: in a program or at the MFP control panel.
Selecting fonts in a program
For information about selecting fonts in a software program, look for topics such as “font
selection,” “base font,” “printer setup,” “print options,” “font appearance,” “change font,” or
“select type” in the software documentation. Usually, you can specify a symbol set when
you run the printer-setup program for the software program.
Inserting symbols into text
The program-software documentation contains instructions for inserting special symbols
into the text. Special symbols are also known as “composite characters,” “symbol sets,”
“character sets,” “code pages,” or “extended characters.” The process for inserting such
characters is also known as the “compose feature.”
Selecting PCL fonts at the MFP control panel
If the software program does not permit font selection through its menus, select the PCL
default font at the MFP control panel. When you select the PCL default font at the MFP
control panel, specify the following items:
● font source
● font number
● point size or pitch
● symbol set
These items can be found on the PCL font list.
Note A font selected in the software program overrides a font selected at the MFP control panel.
Printing a list of available MFP fonts
Use the font lists to see which fonts are currently installed in the MFP. (The font lists also
show which fonts are resident on an hard-disk or flash DIMM.)

Microsoft Windows users can also use the HP Web Jetadmin and Mac OS users can use

HP Web Jetadmin or HP LaserJet Utility, see the online help in those utilities.
Using PostScript fonts
The MFP contains 35 scalable PostScript (PS) fonts drawn from 11 font families. More
than 650 additional fonts that are compatible with the MFP are available from the Adobe
Type Library. These fonts can be purchased and used in the MFP.
