Entering escape characters
Printer commands always begin with the escape character (?).
The following table shows how the escape character can be entered from various MS-DOS
software programs.
Selecting PCL 5e fonts
The printer font list provides PCL 5e printer commands for selecting fonts. (See
for information about how to print the list.) A sample section is shown below.
There is one variable box for entering symbol sets and one for entering point size. These
variables must be filled in, or the printer will use defaults. For example, if you want a symbol set
that contains line-draw characters, select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set. Other
common symbol set codes are listed in the table beginning on the next page.
