2-13 PCL Font and Symbol Set Support for Optra Color 45, Optra Color 1200, Optra E310, and Optra E312 Your printer supports 77 fonts in PCL emulation, including 75 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 from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information. A symbol set defines which characters are available for a font and the code point for each of these characters. The tables beginning on page 2-14 show the symbol sets available for each font in PCL emulation. Not all fonts support all symbol sets. You can select a font as the PCL emulation default from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information. The fonts are divided into two major groups. The first 47 fonts (R0 to R46) shown on the font sample pages are the standard PCL emulation fonts. The 30 remaining fonts (R47 to R76) are called Type 1 fonts and were originally defined for PostScript emulation, but now also work in the PCL emulation. For compatibility purposes, you can disable Type 1 fonts with the Printer Job Language (PJL) LTYPE1FONTS command. The factory default for these fonts is Enabled. See LTYPE1FONTS on page 3-44 for more information. 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 76 from font identifiers R0 or R76. Use the PJL values shown in the tables beginning on page 2-14 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 3-45 for more information about these commands.
