Selecting PCL 5e fonts
The printer font list provides PCL 5e printer commands for selecting
fonts (see “PCL or PS font list” on page 156 for information 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 on beginning
on the next page.
Note Fonts are either “fixed” or “proportional” in spacing. The printer contains
both fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter) and
proportional fonts (CG Times, Arial

, Times New Roman

, and others).
Fixed-spaced fonts are generally used in applications such as
spreadsheets and databases, where it is important for columns to line
up vertically. Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in text and
word processing applications.
