Brother HL-1260 service manual Selecting the Optional Fonts

USER’S GUIDE

Selecting the Optional Fonts

After you have installed the optional font cartridge/card, you can select optional fonts by any of the following methods:

1.Through your application software

2.With a font selection command

3.With the FONT switch

When you select fonts through your application software, follow the instructions specific to your software. Refer to your software manual if you need assistance. When you select fonts with a font selection command, embed the font selection command in your program. See the Technical Reference Manual, which is optionally available for this printer.

✒Notes

When you select the fonts through your software or with a command, note the following:

∙You do not need to be concerned about the FONT switch setting. The software or command setting overrides the switch setting.

∙Be sure to install the 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 in an unexpected font.

To select fonts with the FONT switch, follow these basic steps:

1.Print out the list of optional fonts in the PRINT FONTS C mode with the SHIFT and TEST switches.

See “ Printing the Test Pattern or Font List” in Chapter 2.
