HP 5M manual Checking Installed PCL Fonts, Understanding the PCL Font List Printout

	Checking Installed PCL Fonts
	Your HP LaserJet printer comes with 45 scalable fonts and one
	bitmapped Line Printer font. You can find out which PCL fonts are
	currently installed in your printer by printing a PCL font list. (If you
	have PostScript installed you can also print a PostScript font list. See
	Chapter 5 for more information.)
	The font list printout shows only permanent soft fonts. Permanent soft
	fonts are downloaded soft fonts that stay resident in the printer until you
	download other fonts to replace them, or until you turn the printer off.
	To print a PCL Font List:
1	Press [Menu] until PCL FONTS MENU appears.
2	Press [Item] until PCL FONT LIST is displayed.
3	Press [Select] to print the list.

	Understanding the PCL Font List Printout
	Figure 7-3 is the first page of a sample PCL Typeface List. Letters in the
	sample font list match numbers in the key to Figure 7-3 shown below.
	See Appendix B, “Common PCL Printer Commands,” for step-by-step
	instructions on using printer commands to select a font in DOS
	applications.
Item	Key to Figure 7-3
A	Font is the name of the font.
B	Pitch/Point indicates the specified pitch or point size of the font. “Scale” indicates a scalable font.
C	Escape Sequence (a PCL programming command) is used to select the designated font.
D	Font # is the number you use to select internal, or downloaded soft fonts from the control panel. (Do not
	confuse the font number with the soft font ID, described next.) The letter preceding the font number shows the
	source of the font (I is Internal, S is Permanent soft font, and Slot is SIMM (slot number follows)).
E	Font ID is the number you assign to soft fonts when you download them through your software.
F	Escape Sequence Legend
