PCL-Specific Variables
The following variables are PCL-specific and can be set and
requested using PJL. These variables must be set using the LPARM :
PCL option. A sample value range is shown in this table. See
Appendix A for the actual value range for each PJL printer, or use the
INFO VARIABLES command to request these values from the printer.
Note These variables are listed in alphabetical order, not the order they are
used. The recommended order for setting FONTNUMBER,
FONTSOURCE, and SYMSET is SYMSET first, then
FONTSOURCE, then FONTNUMBER.
PCL-Specific Variables
Variables Description
Sample Value
Range
FONTNUMBER Font number. The valid range for this
variable depends on the currently set
font source. If the font source contains a
default-marked font, the values start at
0; otherwise, the values start at 1. The
upper limit depends on the number of
installed fonts in the font source. For
example, if there are 50 fonts in the font
source and there is a default-marked
font, the FONTNUMBER values range
from 0 to 49. In the same situation
without a default-marked font, the
values range from 1 to 50.
