Appendix D Printer Commands 485

Selecting PCL Fonts

Print a PCL Font List to view the command for each internal font (page 318). A sample section is shown below. Notice the two variable boxes for symbol set and 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 table on page 491.
Note		Fonts are either “fixed” or “proportional” in spacing. The printer contains
		both fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter) and proportional
		fonts (CG Times, Arial, Times New Roman, and others).
		Fixed-spaced fonts are generally used in applications such as
		spreadsheets and databases, where it is important for columns to line up
		vertically. Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in text and word
		processing applications.
