Selecting PCL 6 and PCL 5 fonts

The printer font list provides PCL 6 and PCL 5 printer commands for selecting fonts. See Using printer information pages for information about how to print the list. A sample section is shown in the following illustration.

One variable box is available for specifying symbol sets and one for specifying point size. These variables must be filled in, or the printer will use defaults. For example, if you want a symbol set that contains line-draw characters, select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set. Other common symbol set codes are listed in the section Common PCL 6 and PCL 5 printer commands.
