Selecting Fonts
You can select fonts either from a software application or through the
printer control panel.
Note A font request from a software application or printer driver overrides
font settings in the printer control panel.
Selecting Fonts from Software Applications
For information on changing font selection, base font, printer setup,
print options, and font appearance from a software application, see
the documentation for your application.
Selecting Symbol Sets
If you want to print a symbol such as Ω while the printer is in
PCL mode, you must first select the symbol set that contains that
character. See the
PCL Color Technical Reference Guide
or the
PCL Comparison Guide
for a complete listing of available symbol sets
and printer commands. Contact HP Direct to obtain these guides.
(See Appendix D for ordering information.)
Symbol Set Availability
Many software applications allow you to specify a symbol set from the
printer setup menu. You should consider two things when using
symbol sets:
●
Software applications may not support all of the printer’s symbol
sets.
●
Typefaces are designed to work with specific symbol sets.
Entering Symbols into Text
The documentation for your software application should contain
instructions for entering special symbols into text. See the
documentation’s index for phrases such as
compose feature,
composite characters, symbol sets, character sets, code pages, and
extended characters.
