FONT AND SYMBOL SET SUPPORT
Your printer has 10 resident scalable PCL fonts.
Several parameters are used to select a font from the data stream. These include symbol set,
spacing, point, or pitch, style, weight, and typeface number. For scalable fonts, you can vary the
size of a font by specifying pitch or point size (point size for proportional fonts, pitch for fixed
space fonts.
A symbol set defines which characters are available for a font and the code point for each of
these characters. Your printer supports 16 resident symbol sets. The table beginning on page
1-5 shows the symbol sets available for each font in PCL emulation. Not all fonts support all
symbol sets.
