PITCH, PTSIZE, SYMSET, SET, DEFAULT. See “Table 3-5: Common Variables for
PCL Emulation” on page 3-40 for more information about these commands.
Forward and Backward Compatibility Modes for the Lexmark
C935, X940e, and X945e
Your PCL emulation has forward and backward compatibility modes. The
forward
compatibility mode
is used to emulate the fonts in the Hewlett-Packard Company’s
LaserJet 4050. The
backward compatibility mode
is used for compatibility with the
Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 5 and the Lexmark family of printers.
Standard PCL Emulation Fonts
The following table lists the font selection commands for forward and backward
compatibility mode for each of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts. Since the font
selection commands for the forward and backward compatibility modes are identical,
they are listed together in the table.
