11.5.4 Defining Fonts -    PCL
NOTE:
The procedures in this chapter can only be used, if you have se
lected
the PCL option on the interface (see the chapter on Installation).
The font definition  command has 6 parameters. You can find a description of
the contents of the 6 parameters below. The last parameter (translate table)
is optional, and you do not need to enter it.
All printers have a number of internal fonts . The more sophisticated the
printer is, the more fonts it has. But in addition to these, you can acquire
more fonts either as soft fonts that you download to the printer, or as font
cassettes or font cards that you push into a slot on the pr inter. Not all
existing fonts are in the GFID list in the previous chapter. But you can define
a GFID number for them on your own. In this chapter you will find an
explanation of how to do this.
