This table assumes that the typeface type specified is available in the printer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1The LaserJet series II printer only accepts a typeface selection value field range of 0-255.

2If two fonts are available in the printer that have the same value in the lower (LSB) byte of the font descriptor typeface field (such as 5 and 4101), the typeface selected will be one of these selected at random.

3The MSB typeface byte in the Font Descriptor is ignored by the printer; only the LSB typeface byte is read.
