CHAPTER 2 PCL - 58 



The selection will apply to whichever font you are currently specifying (primary or secondary). 



If the printer doesn't have the specified size font,  the next largest size font is used.  If the printer doesn't 
have a larger sized font,  the next smallest one is used. 



This value is ignored by the printer when a proportional spaced font is selected.
