PCL or PS font list
Use the font lists to see which fonts are currently installed in the printer. (The font lists also show which fonts are resident on an optional hard disk accessory or flash DIMM.)
To print a PCL or PS font list
1At the printer control panel, press MENU until INFORMATION MENU appears.
2Press ITEM until PRINT PCL FONT LIST or PRINT PS FONT LIST appears.
3Press SELECT to print the font list.
The PS font list shows the PS fonts installed, and gives a sample of those fonts. The following describes the information that can be found on the PCL font list:
●Font gives the font names and samples.
●Pitch/Point indicates the pitch and point size of the font.
●Escape Sequence (a PCL 5e programming command) is used to select the designated font. (See the legend at the bottom of the font list page.)
Note | For |
| font with DOS applications, see “Selecting PCL 5e fonts” on page 238. |
| ● Font # is the number used to select fonts from the printer control |
| |
| panel (not the software application). Do not confuse the font # |
| with the font ID, described below. The number indicates the DIMM |
| slot where the font is stored. |
| • SOFT: Downloaded fonts, which stay resident in the printer |
| until other fonts are downloaded to replace them, or until the |
| printer is turned off. |
| • INTERNAL: Fonts that permanently reside in the printer. |
| ● Font ID is the number you assign to soft fonts when you |
| download them through software. |
