If the specified stroke weight is greater than or equal to 0 and is not available, the next thicker available stroke weight is selected. If no thicker stroke weight is available, the closest available thinner stroke weight is selected.

If the specified stroke weight is less than zero and is not available, the next thinner available stroke weight is selected. If no thinner stroke weight is available, the closest available thicker stroke weight is selected.

The factory default primary and secondary stroke weights are zero (medium).

The user default primary and secondary stroke weights are implicitly set by selection of a user default font from the printer’s control panel (refer to the printer User’s Manual).

 

Example

 

To specify a bold stroke weight for the primary font, send:

 

EC(s3B

 

To specify a medium stroke weight for the secondary font, send:

 

EC)s0B

 

 

Note

Many typefaces were designed for advertising use, and a “medium”

 

was used to describe the standard treatment. Later, additional

 

treatments were designed for text use. Therefore, the typeface

 

treatment designation “medium” may not always take a PCL value

 

of 0. This weight value may be assigned to “book” or “text” treatment

 

instead.
