HP 4500 DN manual Understanding Printer Default Fonts, Font Selection Priority

Understanding Printer Default Fonts

The default font for this printer is 12 point Courier in the PC-8 symbol set. The printer uses the default font only if another font has not been specified.

Changing the Default Font

You can select a different default font from the printer control panel. See the section later in this chapter on selecting PCL default fonts through the control panel.

Selecting a Font Other than the Default

●You can request a font from within most software applications.

●You can send a PCL printer command requesting a font different from the default. For information on printer PCL commands, see Appendix B or the PCL Technical Reference Package for this printer.

Font Selection Priority

The printer selects printer fonts in the following order:

1soft fonts (downloaded fonts)

2fonts on DIMMs

3internal fonts

In order to select a font, the font must be available from one of these sources. If the font you request is not available, the printer selects the closest match based on individual font characteristics (PCL only).
