Selecting PCL Fonts Through the

Printer Control Panel

If your software application does not allow you to select fonts through its menus, you can select PCL fonts through the printer control panel. Only one font can be selected for a particular print job.

A font selected through the printer control panel becomes the default font for all subsequent print jobs.

You must specify several items when selecting a font through the printer control panel. These items are listed on the printer’s font page and include:

●the font source

●the font number

●the point size or pitch

●a symbol set

A font request from a software application overrides font settings in the printer control panel.
