Entering escape characters
Printer commands always begin with the escape character
(?)
.
The following table shows how the escape character can be entered in various MS-DOS
®
programs.
Selecting PCL 6 and PCL 5e fonts
The printer font list provides PCL 6 and PCL 5e printer commands for selecting fonts. (See
for information about how to print the list.) A sample section is shown
below.
There is one variable box for entering symbol sets and one for entering point size. These
variables must be filled in, or the printer will use defaults. For example, if you want a symbol set
that contains line-draw characters, select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set. Other
common symbol set codes are listed in the table beginning on the next page.
