Checking Installed PCL Fonts Your HP LaserJet printer comes with 45 scalable typefaces (35 Intellifont and 10 TrueType internal scalable typefaces) and one bitmapped Line Printer font. You can find out which PCL fonts are currently installed in your printer by printing a PCL Typeface List. You can also print a PostScript Typeface List. See Chapter 6, "PostScript Printing," for more information. The typeface list printout shows the standard PCL typefaces and fonts, optional SIMM-based fonts and permanent soft fonts. Permanent soft fonts are downloaded soft fonts that stay resident in the printer until you download other fonts to replace them, or until you turn the printer off. To print a PCL Typeface List: Follow the steps shown on page 5-3, selecting PCL TYPE LIST in step 3. Understanding the PCL Typeface List Printout Figure 5-2 is the first page of a sample PCL Typeface List. Numbers in the sample typeface list match numbers in the key to Figure 5-2 shown below. See Appendix A, "Common PCL Printer Commands," for step-by-step instructions on using printer commands to select a font in DOS applications. Item Key to Figure 5-2 1 Typeface is the name of the typeface. 2 Pitch/Point indicates the specified pitch or point size of the font. "Scale" indicates a scalable typeface. 3 Escape Sequence (a PCL programming command) is used to select the designated font. 4 Font # is the number you use to select internal or downloaded soft fonts from the control panel. (Do not confuse the font number with the soft font ID, described next.) The letter preceding the font number shows the source of the font (I means Internal, and S means Permanent soft font, and M means SIMM) (slot number follows). 5 Font ID is the number you assign to soft fonts when you download them through your software. 5-6 Special Tasks
