The orientation of a font actually refers to the printer's
orientation. In order to use a portrait font, the printer must
be set to portrait orientation and vice versa for landscape
fonts.
If
a landscape font is selected while the printer is in por-
trait orientation, the printer would not change the font that
it was using. However, that landscape font selection would
be stored in memory and, after the printer was set to land-
scape orientation, would be recalled. The same is true for
a portrait font selected while the printer is set to landscape
orientation.

Selecting a Font
"Selecting a font" means choosing a font and causing the
printer to use it for printing your file. You can select a font
by using the printer keypad or by sending special escape
sequences from your computer.

Keypad Font Selection
The keypad of your laser printer provides three different
ways of selecting a font for printing: the Group C Op-
tions which select a font that stays current only until the
next font selection or the next warm restart; the Group
P Options which select a default font for printing during
portrait page orientation; and the Group L Options which
select a default font for printing during landscape page
orientation.
If you use the printer keypad
to
select a font, you will enter
the font number
digit by digit
until all five digits of the font
number have been locked into the printer'S memory. Part
III of this manual contains step-by-step instructions for
using the printer keypad to select a font. The procedure
of selecting a font through the keypad is identical in all
three Groups.
