PCL 5 font support
DocuPrint supports most PCL 5 fonts. Table 1-2 lists the
internal, HP LaserJet compatible fonts installed with the system:
• One bitmap font
• 45 scalable fonts:
– 35 Intellifont FAIS typefaces
– 10 Tr u eTy p e t y pe fa c e s
PCL fonts may be downloaded within a PCL job.
NOTE: The DocuPrint NPS/IPS PCL 5e and 5c interpreters
support use of downloaded PCL fonts or macros by setting the
proper parameter using the
Change PCL Parameters
command. Refer to the Guide to Configuring and Managing the
System chapter “Setting system defaults.”
PCL Intellifont FAIS typefaces and PCL bitmap fonts may be
permanently installed using the font installation utility.
PCL bitmap fonts must be in the PCL soft font format for HP
LaserJet printers. A PCL bitmap font contains a font header and
a set of character definitions. The PCL format 0 (zero) and
format 20 font headers are supported for PCL bitmap fonts. Refer
to your Hewlett Packard PCL 5 printer language publications for
details on the font header and character descriptions.
Installation of other font types is not supported.
For MICR systems, a special DocuPrint NPS/IPS MICR font
floppy is available. It contains the PCL bitmap font named E13B
required for MICR applications. See the
Guide to Configuring
and Managing the System
chapter on “MICR Printing” for more
information. Refer also to the
Generic MICR Fundamentals
Guide
.
NOTE: Fonts installed using the “Install PCL Fonts from Floppy”
command cannot be selected by font ID. They must be selected
by characteristics.
Only fonts installed using this command can be deleted using the
Delete Fonts command. PCL fonts installed with the system
software cannot be deleted.
Refer to the
Guide to Configuring and Managing the System
for
information on loading fonts from floppy and from CD-ROM.
