The LaserJet series II printer only accepts a typeface selection value field range of 0-255.
2
If two fonts are available in the printer that have the same value in the lower (LSB) byte of the font
descriptor typeface field (such as 5 and 4101), the typeface selected will be one of these selected at
random.
3
The MSB typeface byte in the Font Descriptor is ignored by the printer; only the LSB typeface byte is read.
