Interpreting the Font Lists
The PCL font list displays samples of available fonts. The following is
a description of the elements of the font list:
1
Font
The name of the typeface family.
2
Pitch/Pt
Pitch indicates the number of characters per inch of a fixed-space
font. Point Size is the height of the font, measured in points, and
is used to describe scalable fonts.
3
ESC Sequence
Escape Sequence (a PCL command) is used to select the
designated font. Fill in Pitch or Point Size and Symbol Set in the
boxes as required. The escape sequence contains a shaded box
followed by “v” or “h.” This indicates that you must enter the point
size (for example, 14.25v) or pitch (for example, 12.00h).
4
Font #
The number you use to select internal or downloaded soft fonts
from the control panel. The source of the font is also listed.
Note:
Do not confuse the font number with the soft font ID.
5
Font ID
The identification number you assign to soft fonts when you
download them through your software.
See the
PCL Technical Reference Manual
for instructions on
downloading fonts.
The font list for PostScript Emulation displays all fonts installed in the
printer’s firmware. Although the characters are listed in only one size,
you can scale the typefaces to any size.
