8-2 PCL Font Selection EN
Font Selection Priority
The printer selects a font based on a prioritization of its design
characteristics, then its resolution, then its physical location in the
printer, and finally, its orientation. Font selection priority
considerations are shown in the following list:
When selecting a font, the printer compares the highest priority
characteristic in the font select table to the corresponding
characteristic of the available fonts. If only one font is available that
matches, that font is selected. If several fonts match, the printer
compares the next highest priority characteristic to the corresponding
characteristic of the available fonts and so on down the list. When
only one font remains, that font is selected. However, if after
comparison of all the font design characteristics, more than one font
still remains, then the resolution and location are considered.
