Other relationships between IBM GFID and printer typefaces/fonts can be programmed using Function 91 or 97 (See Programmer's Guide for more details on Function 97). GFIDs may be selected with the normal procedure or using Function 96.

11.5.4 Defining Fonts - PCL

NOTE:

The procedures in this chapter can only be used, if you havelectedse the PCL option on the interface (see the chapter on Installation).

The font definition command has 6 parameters. You can find a description of the contents of the 6 parameters below. The last parameter (translate table) is optional, and you do not need to enter it.

All printers have a number of internal fonts . The more sophisticated the printer is, the more fonts it has. But in addition to these, you can acquire more fonts either as soft fonts that you download to the printer, or as font cassettes or font cards that you push into a slot on the pr inter. Not all existing fonts are in the GFID list in the previous chapter. But you can define a GFID number for them on your own. In this chapter you will find an explanation of how to do this.
