2-28 PCL Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark C720, C750, C910, T520, T522, T620, T622, W812, and W820 Your printer has 86 resident fonts in PCL emulation, including 84 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. 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 Professional. 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. Your printer supports 83 symbol sets. The tables beginning on page 2-34 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 Professional. 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 39 remaining fonts (R47 to R85) are called Type 1 fonts and were originally defined for PostScript emulation, but now also work in the PCL emulation. The fonts are further divided into font groups A, B, and C indicating which symbol sets are supported by each font. For a list of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, see Table 2-18 on page 2-29. For a list of the 39 Type 1 fonts, see Table 2-19 on page 2-32. Both tables list the forward and backward compatibility font selection commands and the font group (A, B, or C) for each font. For more information on forward and backward compatibility, see page 2-29. For more information on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-34. 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 3-47 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
