CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL

✒Note

When you see an asterisk on the display, the ID number has been used for another macro or data. If you select the used ID number, the old macro or data is erased and replaced with the new macro.

You can execute a macro with the macro execution command.

• Primary Font or Secondary Font

✒Note

The “PRIMARY FONT” and “SECONDARY FONT” menus appear only in the HP PCL5C emulation mode.

If you have selected the primary or secondary font with the Font button, you can save the font on the installed flash memory card, HDD card or optional HDD.

When you press the Set button at the “PRIMARY FONT” or “SECONDARY FONT” message, the printer prompts you to select the ID of the font.

Select the ID with the ▲ or ▼ button and press the Set button again, so that the printer saves the font with the selected ID.

✒Note

When you see an asterisk on the display, the ID number has been used for another font. If you select the used ID number, the old font will be erased and replaced with the new one.

Whatever font you have selected via the Font button, the printer will save it as a bitmapped font as long as the print size is no more than 24 point. This allows the printer to print fonts faster than when they are not saved. We recommend that you save the scalable fonts that you frequently use as bitmap fonts for faster printing.

Since the flash memory card is in card slot 1 or 2 (the HDD card can only be used in card slot 2), fonts stored in the card behave in the same way as they would if they were in a dedicated Font Card. You can select the saved fonts as “DEVICE1 FONT” or “DEVICE2 FONT” with the Font button or the font selection command from your software. For font selection, see “ FONT Button” in Chapter 4.

You can check the saved fonts by printing the list of fonts with the Test button. See “ TEST Button” in Chapter 4.
