EN Stroke Weight Command 8-17
If the specified stroke weight is greater than or equal to 0 and is not
available, the next thicker available stroke weight is selected. If no
thicker stroke weight is available, the closest available thinner stroke
weight is selected.
If the specified stroke weight is less than zero and is not available, the
next thinner available stroke weight is selected. If no thinner stroke
weight is available, the closest available thicker stroke weight is
selected.
The factory default primary and secondary stroke weights are zero
(medium).
The user default primary and secondary stroke weights are implicitly
set by selection of a user default font from the printer’s control panel
(refer to the printer User’s Manual).

Note Many typefaces were designed for advertising use, and a “medium”
was used to describe the standard treatment. Later, additional
treatments were designed for text use. Therefore, the typeface
treatment designation “medium” may not always take a PCL value
of 0. This weight value may be assigned to “book” or “text” treatment
instead.
