PCL or PS font list

Use the font lists to see which fonts are currently installed in the product. (The font lists also show which fonts are resident on a hard disk or flash DIMM.)

The PS font list shows the PS fonts installed, and gives a sample of those fonts. The following describes the information that can be found on the PCL font list:

zFont gives the font names and samples.

zPitch/Point indicates the pitch and point size of the font.

zEscape Sequence (a PCL 5e programming command) is used to select the designated font. (See the legend at the bottom of the font list page.)

Note

For step-by-step instructions about using printer commands to select a font with MS-DOS programs, see “Common

 

PCL 5e printer commands” on page 232.

 

 

zFont # is the number used to select fonts from the control panel (not the software application). Do not confuse the font # with the font ID, described below. The number indicates the DIMM slot where the font is stored.

ŠSOFT: Downloaded fonts that stay resident in the product until other fonts are downloaded to replace them or until the product is turned off.

ŠINTERNAL: Fonts that permanently reside in the product.

zFont ID is the number you assign to soft fonts when you download them through software.
