Selecting Fonts

The printer’s default font is 10 cpi Courier.

The easiest way to select fonts is through your software program. Refer to your software documentation for information on selecting fonts.

Fonts can also be selected using the printer’s control panel and main menu, however, if a different font is selected in your software, it will override the font selected in the printer menu: see Chapter 3 for menu information.

Using Bar Code Fonts

The OKIPAGE 20 printer drivers support USPS PostNet bar code fonts resident on your printer. Bar Code fonts can be printed easily from WORD for Windows and other Windows applications.

Symbol Sets

Your printer provides 90 special sets of characters for technical, legal and foreign language uses, as well as sets of drawing characters and standard alphanumeric characters. Each font uses symbols from one or more of these sets.

PC-8 is the printer’s default symbol set. Check your software documenta- tion for information on how to select a symbol set and how to insert a symbol or special character into your document. Symbol sets can also be selected under the FONTS & SYMBOLS category in the printer Level-1 menu.

Adobe PostScript Fonts Option

The optional Adobe PostScript Level 2 SIMM Kit (P/N 70032701) provides an additional 37 Adobe Type 1 fonts (see Chapter 7).
