Understanding fonts
161
The following table lists the printer’s resident bitmapped fonts.
For information on additional font support using the SIMM for IPDS, see page 202.
Symbol sets
A
symbol set
is the collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and spe-
cial characters available in the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for
different languages or specific applications, such as math symbols used for scientific text.
In PCL 6 emulation, a symbol set also defines which character will print for each key on
the keyboard (or more specifically, for each
code point
). Some applications require differ-
ent characters at some code points. To support multiple applications and languages, your
printer has 83 symbol sets for the resident PCL 6 emulation fonts.
Symbol sets for PCL 6 emulation
Not all font names support all of the symbol sets listed. Refer to the
Technical Reference
to determine which symbols sets are supported by each font name.
