Brother HL-1260 service manual Font Switch, Symbol SET

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.”
