PCL
2-14
Your Lexmark printer defaults to the forward compatibility mode to enable a Hewlett-
Packard Company’s driver to select the forward compatibility fonts. The Lexmark PCL
emulation driver uses the backward compatibility mode and temporarily switches the
printer to this mode. The PCL (PJL) emulation commands to switch the default
compatibility modes are:
Forward
ESC
%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT LPARM:PCL LFONTCOMPATIBILITY=PCL6
@PJL RESET
ESC
%-12345X
Backward
ESC
%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT LPARM:PCL LFONTCOMPATIBILITY=PCL5
@PJL RESET
ESC
%-12345X
Specialty PCL Fonts
The following table lists the font selection commands for forward and backward
compatibility mode for each of the five specialty PCL emulation fonts. Since the font
selection commands for the forward and backward compatibility modes are identical,
they are listed together in the table. These fonts are supported only in PCL 5
emulation, not in PCL XL.
Selecting Symbol Sets for Lexmark C935, X940e, and X945e
To determine if a font or typeface supports a symbol set, see the complete listing of
PCL emulation fonts and symbol sets in the following tables: “Table 2-8: C935dn,
C935dtn, C935dttn, C935hdn PCL Emulation Symbol Sets - Specials” on page 2-27
and “Table 2-12: X940e, X945e PCL Emulation Symbol Sets - Specials” on page 2-44.
