Fonts
A
This appendix contains basic information about fonts, their charac-
teristics, and the specific fonts available in PCL emulation, and
PostScript Level 2 emulation.
Note:
PCL emulation refers to printer emulation when it is
responding to either PCL 5 or PCL 6 data stream com-
mands. Differences in the way fonts are handled when in
PCL 5 emulation or PCL 6 emulation are noted in this
appendix.
Typefaces and Fonts
A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct
design. The distinct design is called a typeface. The typefaces you
select add personality to a document. Well chosen typefaces make
a document easier to read.
The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL emulation and
PostScript Level 2 emulation. See “Resident Fonts” on page 334 for
a listing of all resident fonts.
