Specifies whether to enable or disable the printing of HP PCL5 scal-
able fonts by an application.
Choices Off—Reset PCL to its default state at the end of each PCL
print job, execute an implicit <ESC>E at the start and end of
the job, and delete any temporary fonts, macros, and patterns.
On—Reset PCL to its default state at the end of each PCL
print job. Temporary fonts, macros, and patterns from previous
PCL print jobs are retained in memory after the print job has
completed. You can recall these downloaded fonts, macros,
and patterns from within your PCL file without having to
download them again.
On Compatibility—Retain the entire state of PCL as well as the
temporary macros, fonts, and patterns from previous PCL jobs
unless you do one of the following:
Change any PCL front panel option
Send any PCL-specific DOC—except the
emulation DOC
Send any other DOC, such as number of
copies, duplex, orientation, or inputbin
Send a PCL job from a different communica-
tions port—for example, if the PCL print envi-
ronment is set for PCL jobs to print from the
parallel port, and a PCL job is sent from the
serial port. If any one of these occurs, the
PCL state is reset to the new default, and the
previous state is lost.
Default Off
Menu Administration/Emulations/HP PCL 5/Scalable Fonts
Choices Enable—Allow selection of scalable fonts. When you print
PCL4 documents, PCL5 may substitute scalable fonts that
could cause your PCL 4 documents to print incorrectly.
Disable—Print using bitmap fonts only.
