Before You Start Using the Machine CHAPTER This chapter describes how to set up the printing environment from the touch panel display. Menu Functions ............1-2 What Are Menu Functions? .
Menu Functions This chapter describes the menu functions and how to access them with the touch panel display. What Are Menu Functions? The machine lets you specify the number of copies, the paper size, etc., to use when it receives a print job. Normally, however, these types of settings are specified by the application sending the print job, or by the printer driver.
Accessing the Menus To access the printer related menu functions, display the Printer Settings screen on the touch panel display and use the keys on the display to specify the settings. IMPORTANT You can access menus and modify settings while print jobs are waiting in the queue. However, any new settings will only affect print jobs sent to the queue after making the modifications.

Appendix CHAPTER This chapter shows print samples for different fonts, describes font information, including sources and font lists, and lists a summary of the specifications for the machine. Some Basic Facts About Fonts ..........6-2 What Is a Font? .
Some Basic Facts About Fonts This section summarises some of the basic facts you should know about fonts. What Is a Font? A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a font.
Page 71
Typeface Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure shows an example of some typefaces. ■ Typeface Courier ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Times ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Helvetica ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Stroke Weight Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold stroke weights.
Page 72
Style Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can print in two styles: upright and italic. With some fonts like Letter Gothic, the term “Oblique” is used in the same manner as italics. ■ Style Point size Point size refers to the height of the character.
Page 73
Pitch (cpi) Pitch refers to the number of characters that are printed in one inch. The unit is cpi (characters per inch). As the number of characters per inch increases, the space between characters decreases; as the cpi decreases, the space between characters increases.
Page 74
■ Fixed spacing and Proportional spacing Fixed spacing Proportional spacing Orientation Orientation refers to the direction of printing. The printer function can print using two different paper orientations: portrait and landscape. With portrait orientation, text is printed across the width of the paper (short edge), and with landscape orientation, text is printed across the length of the paper (long edge).
Page 75
Symbol Set When you print the letter “A,” the host computer sends a code corresponding to “A” (hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern corresponding to the received code.
Bit-mapped Fonts and Scalable Fonts There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type of data from which they are formed. Bit-mapped fonts Scalable fonts Bit-mapped Fonts Each character of bit-mapped fonts are composed of grid of small dots and stored in the machine’s memory in dot matrix.
Page 77
Scalable Fonts With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. ■ Scalable fonts Some Basic Facts About Fonts...
Page 78
Standard Scalable Fonts (PCL) With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. (The maximum range of scaling depends on the size of the memory installed in the machine and the size of the paper used.) The following scalable typefaces are included with the machine.
