CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 45
The selection will apply to whichever font you are currently specifying (primary or secondary).
If the printer doesn't have the specified size font, the next largest size font is used. If the printer doesn't
have a larger sized font, the next smallest one is used.
This value is ignored by the printer when a proportional spaced font is selected.
