PCL Font Selection
PCL printer commands for selecting fonts can be found on the PCL Font
List (see page 2-9 to print a PCL Font List). A sample section is shown
below. Notice the two variable boxes for symbol set “?” and 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 following table (see next page). Order
the PCL/PJL Technical Reference Package if you require symbol set
charts or want more information (see page 2-20 for ordering
information).
