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 the section later in this chapter on selecting PCL default fonts
through the control panel.
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 Technical Reference Package
for this
printer.
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).
