FONT Button

Pressing the Font button allows you to select fonts and symbol/character sets.

✒Notes

When you use the Font button, note the following:

∙The Font button is effective in the HP PCL5C, EPSON FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL modes. However the settings are subject to the current emulation mode. Note that the Font button 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 button. The software or command setting overrides the button setting.

∙If you want to use optional fonts instead of the printer’s resident fonts, be sure to install a font cartridge/card that has your preferred 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 PCL5C mode or BR-Script 2 mode when a card is installed. See “ DEVICE OPERATION.”
