The font must be accessible to the printer as either a resident font, a downloaded font, or a loaded cartridge font. To be selected, the font must have been previously assigned a font ID number in PCL mode. Also, the FN command must be accompanied by an AD command specifying the font's point size (see the "Using the FI Command" example).
