2-30 PCL Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark E321 Your printer supports 19 fonts in PCL emulation, including 17 scalable fonts and two bitmapped fonts. Several parameters are used to select a font from the data stream. These include symbol set, spacing, point or pitch, style, weight, and typeface number. Print the font sample pages to view the specific parameters for each font. For scalable fonts, you can vary the size of a font by specifying pitch or point size. For bitmapped fonts, you must choose the pitch or point size listed on the font sample pages. You can print the font sample pages using a PJL command (see "LPRINTPCLFONTS" on page 3-83). A symbol set defines which characters are available for a font and the code point for each of these characters. Your printer has 88 resident symbol sets. The tables beginning on page 2-33 show the symbol sets available for each font in PCL emulation. Not all fonts support all symbol sets. You can also select fonts using PJL commands. The selection parameter is the number portion from the font identifier shown on the font sample pages, such as 0 or 18 from font identifiers R0 or R18. Use the PJL values shown in the tables beginning on page 2-33 to select a symbol set. If a symbol set does not have a PJL value, use the symbol set ID to select the symbol set. A font selection can be either temporary or set as the default. Use the following PJL commands to select fonts: FONTSOURCE, FONTNUMBER, PITCH, PTSIZE, SYMSET, SET, DEFAULT. See "Table 3-5: Common Variables for PCL Emulation" on page 3-48 for more information about these commands.
