PCL Font List

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

To print a PCL font list:

1 Press

[Menu]

until

INFORMATION MENU

appears.

2 Press

[Item]

until

PRINT PCL FONT LIST

appears.

3 Press

[Select]

to print the font list.

The following describes the information that can be found on the
PCL font list:

•

Font gives the font names and samples.

•

Pitch/Point indicates the pitch or point size of the font.

•

Escape Sequence (a PCL 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 on using printer commands to select
a font with DOS applications, see page D-7.

•

Font # is the number used to select fonts from the printer’s 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.

•

SOFT: Downloaded fonts, which stay resident in the printer until
other fonts are downloaded to replace them, or until the printer
is turned off.

•

INTERNAL: Fonts that permanently reside in the printer.

•

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