Selecting PCL 5e fonts The printer font list provides PCL 5e printer commands for selecting fonts (see "PCL or PS font list" on page 156 for information 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 linedraw characters, select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set. Other common symbol set codes are listed in the table on beginning on the next page. Font list 1 2 Note 1 Symbol set 2 Point size Fonts are either "fixed" or "proportional" in spacing. The printer contains both fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter) and proportional fonts (CG Times, Arial, Times New Roman, and others). Fixed-spaced fonts are generally used in applications such as spreadsheets and databases, where it is important for columns to line up vertically. Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in text and word processing applications. 238 Appendix D - Printer commands EN
