Your controller contains 45 internal scalable
typefaces and a 16.67-pitch bitmapped Line Printer
font.  This broad selection of typefaces will support
most types of office documents, from spreadsheets
and reports to letters, presentations, and advertising
literature.

Whether your software runs under MSDOS or
Microsoft Windows, you can access any of the
internal typefaces, along with hundreds of accessory
typefaces available through third-party typeface
vendors.

Depending upon the capabilities of your software,
you can size the proportionally spaced internal
typefaces from .25 point to 999.75 points, in quarter-
point increments.

You should not use PostScript typefaces in
combination with PCL typefaces resident in your
controller or with other typefaces supported by PCL,
in the same document.  Language switching allows
you to use either PostScript or PCL-supported type,
but not both simultaneously.

If you send a document with both PCL and PostScript
fonts, the controller will pick a printer language –
either PCL or PostScript – print the fonts native to it,
and interpret the others.  Thus some fonts may not
print as expected.
