Stroke weight
The stroke weight determines the degree of darkness of the font.
This can vary from ultra thin to ultra black, with seven grades of
shading, medium being the normal stroke weight. Most
applications use two stroke weights: medium and bold.
Typeface
A typeface can be defined as the specific design of a set of font
characters. Characters of a given typeface share a similar style.
Font selection
You may select fonts either by their characteristics or by using a
font ID number. All font selection commands have two forms,
one for the primary font and one for the secondary font.
Font select commands are listed later under ”PCL4 command
reference.”
Font selection by characteristics
The user selects fonts according to their characteristics. The
printer follows a “best fit” system to search for the font which
most closely matches the one requested. The characteristics for
font selection are listed in order of priority:
• Symbol set
• Spacing
• Pitch
• Height
• Style
• Stroke weight
• Typeface
• Soft font with the lowest ID number
• Left cartridge
• Right cartridge
• Internal font orientation.
If you select landscape orientation and only one landscape font is
available, that font will be used regardless of the other
characteristics.
