Sets the character set used by the HP PCL5 emulation.Notes * represents a scalable font (default point size [12 points] is
used to scale the font and produce the characters in the
selected size).
If you use Select by Index to select a font by its font index, the
printer uses the Administration/Emulations/PCL5/Default Font
Idx value to choose the default font.

The five dingbat symbol sets (PS-ZapfDingbats, Ventura-
Dingbats, Zapf-Dingbats100, Zapf-Dingbats200, and Zapf-
Dingbats300) can be used with all fonts.
If a mismatch between a symbol set and font occurs, the
standard PCL font selection mechanism is used to locate a
font that matches the selected symbol set. With the standard
set of fonts distributed for your printer, this matches the
Times* font, but other user-installed fonts could change this
result. See Hewlett-Packard’s
PCL 5 Printer Language
Technical Reference Manual
(HP part number 5961-0509) for
more information on selecting PCL 5 fonts.
