FONT Button
Pressing the Font button allows you to select fonts and symbol/character
sets.
Notes
When you use the Font button, note the following:
The Font button is effective in the HP PCL5C, EPSON FX-850, and
IBM Proprinter XL modes. However the settings are subject to the
current emulation mode. Note that the Font button does not work in
the BR-Script 2 mode.
If the application software supports font and symbol/character set
selection, you do not need to set them with the Font button. The
software or command setting overrides the button setting.
If you want to use optional fonts other than the printer's resident
fonts, be sure to install a font cartridge/card that has your desired
fonts. The printer automatically selects the font that has exactly the
same or similar characteristics as those you set through the software or
with a command. If the installed font cartridge/card happens to have a
font of similar characteristics, the printer will print with an
unexpected font.
You can store the fonts you require on a flash memory card or HDD
card only in the HP PCL5C mode or BR-Script 2 mode when one is
installed. See "CARD OPERATION."
