CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL

FONT Switch

Pressing the FONT switch allows you to select fonts and symbol/character sets.

Notes

When you use the FONT switch, note the following:

The FONT switch is effective in the HP LaserJet 4+, EPSON FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL modes. However the settings are subject to the current emulation mode. Note that the FONT switch does not work in the BR-Script 2 mode.

If the application software supports font and symbol/character set selection, you do not need to set them with the FONT switch. The software or command setting overrides the switch setting.

If you want to use optional fonts other than the printer’s resident fonts, be sure to install a font cartridge/card that has your desired fonts. The printer automatically selects the font that has exactly the same or similar characteristics as those you set through the software or with a command. If the installed font cartridge/card happens to have a font of similar characteristics, the printer will print with an unexpected font.

You can store the fonts you require on a flash memory card or HDD card only in the HP LaserJet 4+ mode or BR-Script 2 mode when one is installed. See “CARD OPERATION.”

Setting the Font and Symbol Set in the HP LaserJet 4+ Mode

The display shows the following setting menus:
