5.1.10. Primary and secondary fonts The printer maintains two sets of font characteristics which define its primary and secondary fonts. The primary font is the one it will use by default, the secondary font can be selected instead. This facility enables you to have two parallel font definitions that you can switch between easily without invoking long escape sequences. You can select the primary and secondary fonts using PCL commands. Depending on your model, you can also set any available fonts to be the printer's user default primary and secondary fonts using the printer's control panel. Refer to the User Guide for instructions on how to do this. The factory default settings for both primary and secondary fonts are Brougham 12 point, 10 cpi Roman 8. 5.1.11. Specifying the primary font When you specify primary font characteristics you send escape codes with '(' as the second character of the sequence. This tells the printer that the font characteristic you are specifying applies to the primary font. 5.1.12. Specifying the secondary font When you specify secondary font characteristics you send escape codes with ')' as the second character of the sequence. This tells the printer that the font characteristic you are specifying applies to the secondary font. 5.1.13. Selecting the default fonts To set the primary font settings to those of the printers default font and discard all the software settings you have made in the meantime, send the printer the following escape sequence: Esc(3@ (27)(40)(51)(64) To set the secondary font settings to those of the printers default font send: Esc)3@ (27)(41)(51)(64) 5.1.14.
