Font compatibility, Primary and secondary fonts | Xerox 4213

3.LJ series 2D emulation

The LJ2D emulation can accept fonts from a variety of sources. Some fonts are built into the 4213 printer. Others may be accessed from a cartridge or downloaded from a file. This chapter describes fonts and the font handling capabilities of the LJ2D emulation and covers the following topics:

·Font compatibility

·Primary and secondary fonts

·Font characteristics

·Font selection

·Resident fonts.

Font compatibility

The LJ2D emulation accepts Soft Fonts designed for the HP LaserJet, HP LaserJet +, and HP LaserJet II printers. These fonts may be supplied by Rank Xerox or third-party vendors.

The 4213 LJ2D emulation is also capable of using fonts stored in Xerox 4213 font cartridges. These cartridges may hold up to one megabyte of fonts but are not physically compatible with LaserJet font cartridges. Rank Xerox supplies a range of 4213 font cartridges which provide the same features as the HP LaserJet font cartridges.

Although fonts used in the LJ2D emulation are comparable to the HP LaserJet fonts, there may be some variance in appearance between characters from different sources.

Primary and secondary fonts

The LJ2D emulation allows the user to select two fonts, a primary and a secondary font, and switch between them.
