When you select the fonts through your software or with a command, note the following:

You do not need to be concerned about the font control panel setting. The software or command 
overrides the printer setting.

■

Be sure to install a fonts package that has the fonts you want. The printer automatically selects 
the font that has exactly the same or similar characteristics as those you have set through the 
software or with a command. If the installed fonts package does not happen to have a font of 
similar characteristics, the printer will print in an unexpected font.
