on page 2-34 to select a symbol set. If a symbol set does not have a PJL value, use
the symbol set ID to select the symbol set. A font selection can be either temporary or
set as the default.
Use the following PJL commands to select fonts: FONTSOURCE, FONTNUMBER,
PITCH, PTSIZE, SYMSET, SET, DEFAULT. See Table 3-5: “Common Variables for
PCL Emulation” on page 3-48 for more information about these commands.
Forward and Backward Compatibility Modes for the Lexmark
C720, C750, C910, T520, T522, T620, T622, W812, and W820
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
Table 2-18 on page 2-29 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. Most fonts are assigned a font group indicating
which symbol sets that font supports.
To determine which symbol sets are supported by a particular font, find the font
group (A, B, or C) for the font in Table 2-18, and then see Table 2-20 on page 2-34 for
the symbol sets that belong to that group.
