Using the operator panel  
This section contains information about understanding the operator panel, changing printer settings,  
and understanding operator panel menus.  
You can change most printer settings from your software application or printer driver. Settings you  
change from the application or printer driver apply only to the job you are preparing to send to the  
printer.  
Changes made to printer settings from a software application override changes made from the printer  
operator panel.  
If you cannot change a setting from your application, use the printer operator panel or the remote  
operator panel available from MarkVision™. Changing a printer setting from the printer operator panel  
or from MarkVision makes that setting the user default.  
Understanding the operator panel  
The printer operator panel has a 2-line by 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD), five buttons, and  
one indicator light.

Make sure the printer power is on and the Readymessage appears.  
Press Menu until you see Utilities Menu and then press Select.  
Press Menu until you see Print Menus and then press Select.  
The message Printing Menu Settingsappears and remains until the page prints. The  
printer returns to Readywhen the page or pages finish printing.  
If a message displays, see Understanding printer messages for more information.  
The diagram in Using printer menus shows the menu items in each menu.  
An asterisk (*) next to a value indicates the factory default setting. Factory defaults may differ for  
different countries.  
Factory defaults are the function settings in effect the first time you turn your printer on. These remain  
in effect until you change them. Factory defaults are restored if you select the Restore value for the  
Factory Defaults menu item in the Utilities Menu. See Utilities Menu for more information.  
When you select a new setting from the operator panel, the asterisk moves next to the selected setting  
to identify it as the current user default.  
User defaults are the settings you select for different printer functions and store in printer memory.  
Once stored, these settings remain active until new ones are stored or the factory defaults are  
restored.  
Note: Settings you choose from your software application may override the settings you  
select from the operator panel.  
Menus Disabled  
If your printer is configured as a network printer available to a number of users, Menus Disabledmay  
appear when you press Menu from the Readystate. Disabling the menus prevents users from using the  
operator panel to inadvertently change a printer default that has been set by the person managing the  
printer. You can still use Print and Hold features, clear messages, and select items from the Job Menu  
when printing a job, but you cannot change other printer settings. You can, however, use your printer  
driver to override printer defaults and select settings for individual print jobs.

Using the Print and Hold function  
When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to hold the job  
in memory. When you are ready to print the job, you must go to the printer and use the operator panel  
menus to identify which held job you want to print.  
Note: Print and Hold functions require a minimum of 16MB available printer memory. We  
recommend a minimum of 32MB available printer memory and a hard disk.

Printing and deleting held jobs  
Once held jobs are stored in printer memory, you can use the printer operator panel to specify what  
you want to do with one or more of the jobs. You can select either Confidential Job or Held Jobs  
(Repeat Print, Reserve Print, and Verify Print jobs) from the Job Menu. If you select Confidential Job,  
you must enter the personal identification number (PIN) you specified in the driver when you sent the  
job. See Confidential jobs for more information.  
From either the Confidential Job or the Held Jobs menu items, you have five choices:  
Print All Jobs

Press Select.  
If you are looking for a particular job, press Menu to scroll through the list of available jobs,  
and press Select when the correct job is displayed. An asterisk (*) appears next to the job  
name indicating you have chosen to print or delete that job.  
If you are prompted to enter the number of copies you want to print, use the Menu button  
to increase or decrease the number on the display, and then press Select.  
8
Press Go to print or delete specific jobs you have marked.  
The printer briefly shows messages indicating what Print and Hold functions it is performing.  
Recognizing when format errors occur  
If the symbol appears on the display, it indicates that the printer had trouble formatting one or more  
of the held jobs. These formatting problems are most commonly the result of insufficient printer  
memory or invalid data that might cause the printer to flush the job.  
When a symbol appears next to a held job, you can:  
Print the job. Be aware, however, that only part of the job may print.  
Delete the job. You may want to free up additional printer memory by scrolling through the list  
of held jobs and deleting others you have sent to the printer.  
If formatting errors are a recurring problem with held jobs, your printer may require more memory.  
13  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
Repeat Print  
If you send a Repeat Print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the job and stores the job in  
memory so you can print additional copies later. You can print additional copies as long as the job  
remains stored in memory.  
Note: Repeat Print jobs are automatically deleted from printer memory when the printer  
requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.  
Reserve Print  
If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer does not print the job immediately, but stores the job in  
memory so you can print the job later. The job is held in memory until you delete it from the Held Jobs  
menu. Reserve Print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional  
held jobs.  
See Printing and deleting held jobs for information.  
Verify Print  
If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested  
from the driver in printer memory. Use Verify Print to examine the first copy to see if it is satisfactory  
before printing the remaining copies.  
See Printing and deleting held jobs if you need help printing the additional copies stored in memory.  
Note: Once all copies are printed, the Verify Print job is deleted from printer memory.  
Confidential jobs  
When you send a job to the printer, you can enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the  
driver. The PIN must be four digits using the numbers 1–6. The job is then held in printer memory until  
you enter the same four-digit PIN from the printer operator panel and choose to print or delete the job.  
This ensures that the job does not print until you are there to retrieve it, and no one else using the  
printer can print the job.  
When you select Confidential Job from the Job Menu and then select your user name, the following  
prompt is displayed:  
Enter PIN:  
=____  
14  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
Use the buttons on the operator panel to enter the four-digit PIN associated with your confidential job.  
The numbers next to the button names identify which button to press for each digit (1–6). As you enter  
the PIN, asterisks are displayed on the operator panel to ensure confidentiality.  
Enter PIN

PIN, or press Stop to exit the Confidential Job menu.  
When you enter a valid PIN, you have access to all print jobs matching the user name and PIN you  
entered. The print jobs matching the PIN you entered appear on the display when you enter the Print A  
Job, Delete A Job, and Print Copies menu items. You can then choose to print or delete jobs matching  
the PIN you entered. (See Printing and deleting held jobs for more information.) After printing the  
job, the printer deletes the confidential job from memory.

Choosing print material  
The print quality and feed reliability of your printer and options can vary with the type and size of print  
material you use. This section provides guidelines for each type of print material.  
Always print samples on the print material you are considering before buying large quantities.  
Click a topic for more information:  
• Paper characteristics  
• Recommended paper  
• Unacceptable paper  
• Choosing paper  
• Choosing envelopes  
• Choosing labels  
• Choosing preprinted forms  
and letterhead  
• Choosing card stock  
• Choosing transparencies  
• Choosing prepunched paper  
Paper characteristics  
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you keep  
these guidelines in mind when evaluating new paper stock.  
Weight  
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 176 g/m2 (16 to 47 lb bond) grain long.  
Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing paper jams. For  
best performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) grain long paper. To use paper narrower than 182 x 257  
mm (7.2 x 10.1 in.), we recommend that the basis weight be greater than or equal to 90 g/m2 (24 lb  
bond).  
Curl  
Curl is the tendency of paper to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems.  
Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high  
temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even in the paper tray, can contribute to  
paper curling.  
18  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
Smoothness  
The degree of smoothness of paper directly affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner  
does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can  
cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness needs to be between 100 and 300 Sheffield points;  
however, smoothness between 100 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.  
Moisture content  
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the  
paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. This limits the  
exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.  
Grain direction  
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running  
the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.  
For 60 to 176 g/m2 (16 to 47 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For papers heavier  
than 176 g/m2 (47 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the multipurpose feeder, 60 to 135 g/m2 (16 to  
36 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For the multipurpose feeder, papers heavier  
than 135 g/m2 (36 lb bond), grain short is preferred.  
Fiber content  
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped wood. This content  
provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better  
print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton possess characteristics that can result in degraded  
paper handling.  
Recommended paper  
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business  
papers designed for general business use may also provide acceptable print quality.  
Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of paper. When choosing any  
papers, consider the weight, fiber content, and color of the paper.  
The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 225°C (437°F) for MICR (Magnetic Ink  
Character Recognition) applications, and 205°C (401°F) for non-MICR applications. Use only papers  
that are able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous  
emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you’ve chosen is  
acceptable for laser printers.  
Unacceptable paper  
The following papers are not recommended for use with the printer:  
Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as  
carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.  
19  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
Coated papers (erasable bond)  
Multiple-part forms or documents  
Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater  
than 0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms  
In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software application to successfully print  
on these forms.  
Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer  
Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser  
Rough-edged or curled papers  
Synthetic papers  
Thermal papers  
Less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) recycled paper  
Recycled papers containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that do not meet DIN 19  
309  
Choosing preprinted forms and letterhead  
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:  
Use grain long papers for best results.  
Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing  
process.  
Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.  
Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.  
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must  
withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) for non-MICR applications, and 225°C (437°F) for MICR  
applications, without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the  
resin in the toner. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements. Latex inks  
might not meet these requirements. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.  
Choosing prepunched paper  
Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing  
techniques.  
Use the following guidelines when selecting and using prepunched paper:  
Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-  
punched paper.  
Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already  
packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause paper jams when multiple sheets feed through  
the printer.  
20  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
Prepunched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require  
more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as that of standard paper.  
Weight guidelines for prepunched paper are the same as for non punched paper.  
Choosing paper  
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures trouble-free printing.  
To help avoid paper jams or poor print quality:  
Always use new, undamaged paper.  
Before loading paper, you need to know the recommended print side of the paper you’re using.  
This information is usually indicated on the paper package.  
Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.  
Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same paper source; mixing results in paper  
jams.  
Do not use coated papers.  
Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when you use a source that does not support  
auto size sensing.  
Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing or Busyis displayed.  
Make sure the Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper Weight settings are correct. (See Paper  
Menu for detailed information about these settings.)  
Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the paper source.  
Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level  
surface.  
Choosing envelopes  
When printing on envelopes:  
To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for  
use in laser printers.  
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.  
Load only one size of envelope at a time in the envelope feeder.  
Make sure the glue is not exposed.  
21  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the  
envelopes.  
Be sure to select Env Feeder or MP Feeder as the paper source in the Paper Menu and set  
the correct envelope size.  
The laser printing process heats envelopes to a temperature of 205°C (401°F). Use only envelopes  
that are able to withstand these temperatures without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing  
hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using, check  
with the envelope supplier.  
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/  
m2 (28 lb bond) weight for the multipurpose feeder or 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for the envelope  
feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100% cotton content must not  
exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight.  
To minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:  
Have excessive curl or twist  
Are stuck together or damaged in any way  
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing  
Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars  
Have an interlocking design  
Have postage stamps attached  
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position  
Have nicked edges or bent corners  
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes  
Choosing labels  
The printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in  
letter size and A4 size sheets.  
When printing on labels:  
Be sure to select Labels in the Paper Type menu item in the Paper Menu. (See Paper Type for  
detailed information about these settings.)  
Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray; mixing print  
materials can cause feeding problems.  
Do not load partial sheets with areas exposed by missing labels; this can cause labels to peel  
off during printing, jam, and contaminate your printer and your print cartridge with adhesive. It  
can also void your printer and cartridge warranties.  
Avoid using labels that may release hazardous emissions when heated.  
Note: Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. Your printer  
requires a special fuser cleaner for label applications in order to optimize feed  
reliability. See Ordering supplies for information on obtaining a label fuser  
cleaner.  
22  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
After continuously printing approximately 10,000 page sides of labels (or each time you replace the  
print cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain printer feeding reliability:  
1
2
3
Print five sheets of paper.  
Wait approximately five seconds.  
Print five more sheets of paper.  
Choosing card stock  
Card stock is single-ply and has many properties. The orientation of paper fibers, moisture content,  
thickness, and texture can all affect printing on card stock. See Print material specifications for  
information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of print materials.  
When printing on card stock:  
Be sure to select Card Stock in the Paper Type menu item in the Paper Menu. (See Paper  
Type for detailed information about these settings.)  
Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and  
cause paper handling or jamming problems.  
Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.  
After printing approximately 10,000 page sides of card stock (or each time you replace the print  
cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain printer feeding reliability:  
1
2
3
Print five sheets of paper.  
Wait approximately five seconds.  
Print five more sheets of paper.  
Choosing transparencies  
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and  
durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are  
considering before buying large quantities.  
The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See Paper Type for  
detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether  
your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 212°C (414°F). Use  
only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring,  
offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.  
Transparencies can be fed automatically from the multipurpose feeder and all standard and optional  
trays, except the 2000-sheet drawer, for all printer models. See Print material specifications for  
information about transparency compatibility with output options.  
Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the surface of the transparency cause  
poor print quality.

Storing paper  
Properly storing paper helps ensure trouble-free printing. Use the following guidelines:  
For best results, store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21oC  
(70oF) and the relative humidity is 40%.  
Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.  
If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a  
flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.  
Do not place anything on top of the paper packages.  
44  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
14  
Tray linking  
Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you use the same size and type of  
print material in multiple paper sources (trays).  
For example, let’s say you have loaded two optional trays with the same size print material and both  
are set to the same paper type. When one tray becomes empty, the printer automatically selects print  
material from the other tray since the printer sees the trays as linked.  
If you use different print material in the trays, each source with a different print material must have the  
Paper Type set to a unique value to disable the automatic linking feature. If all the trays do not have the  
same paper type when they are linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the wrong paper type.

Tips for avoiding paper jams  
By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you can avoid most paper jams. If  
jams do occur, follow the steps outlined in Clearing paper jams. If jams occur frequently, make sure  
you follow these tips to avoid jams:  
See Loading print material to load paper properly. Make sure the adjustable guides are  
positioned correctly.  
Do not overload the paper trays. Make sure the paper is under the paper capacity mark on the  
inside of the paper tray.  
Do not remove paper trays while print jobs are in process.  
Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading it.  
Fan stacks of labels or transparencies before loading them into trays or the multipurpose  
feeder. If jams do occur using the multipurpose feeder, try feeding one sheet at a time.  
Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled paper.  
Do not mix paper types or paper sizes in one tray.  
Do not add paper to existing paper in tray. Allow tray to go empty before adding more paper.  
Use only recommended print materials. See Recommended paper.  
Make sure the recommended print side is face down for simplex printing when loading all  
trays.  
Keep print materials stored in an acceptable environment. See Moisture content.

Checking an unresponsive printer  
When you have a problem, first make sure that:  
The printer power cord is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet.  
The printer power switch is on.  
The electrical outlet is not turned off by any switch or breaker.  
Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working.  
You try turning the printer off, then wait for about 10 seconds, and turn the printer on. This  
often fixes the problem.  
Your printer driver settings are correct.  
Note: If an error message appears, see Understanding printer messages.

Clearing paper jams  
By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you can avoid most paper jams. (See  
the suggestions in Tips for avoiding paper jams.) If paper jams do occur, follow the steps in this  
section.  
To resolve the paper jam messages, you must clear all paper from the paper path. Press Go to resume  
printing. The printer prints a new copy of the page that jammed if Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto;  
however, the Auto setting does not guarantee the page will print.  
Identifying paper jam areas  
See the diagram on page 55 for the path the paper travels through the printer and options, and areas  
where jams may occur. The path varies depending on the paper source.  
Note: If a jam occurs in the  
multipurpose feeder, you  
receive a 250 Paper Jam  
message. The 260 Paper  
Jamis shown here for a jam in  
the optional envelope feeder.

Solving option problems  
If an option does not operate correctly after it is installed or if it quits working:  
Make sure paper options are marked with a colored triangle, indicating they are compatible  
with your printer.  
Turn the printer off, wait for about 10 seconds, and turn the printer on. If this does not fix the  
problem, unplug the printer, and check the connection between the option and printer.  
Print the menu settings page and check to see if the option is listed in the Installed Options list.  
If the option is not listed, reinstall it.  
Make sure the option is selected in the software application you are using.  
For Macintosh computer users: Make sure the printer is set up in Chooser.  
Printer options are listed below with suggested corrective actions for related problems. If the  
suggested corrective action does not fix the problem, call your service representative.

Understanding fonts  
Typefaces and fonts  
A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The distinct design is called a  
typeface. The typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well-chosen typefaces make a  
document easier to read.  
The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. See Resident fonts for  
a listing of all resident fonts.  
Weight and style  
Typefaces are often available in different weights and styles. These variations modify the original  
typeface so you can, for example, emphasize important words in text or highlight book titles. The  
different weights and styles are designed to complement the original typeface.  
Weight refers to the thickness of the lines that form the characters. Thicker lines result in darker  
characters. Some words commonly used to describe the weight of a typeface are bold, medium, light,  
black, and heavy.  
Style refers to other typeface modifications, such as tilt or character width. Italic and oblique are styles  
where the characters are tilted. Narrow, condensed, and extended are three common styles that  
modify the character widths.  
Some fonts combine several weight and style modifications; for example, Helvetica Narrow Bold Italic.  
A group of several weight and style variations of a single typeface is called a typeface family. Most  
typeface families have four variations: regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. Some families have more  
variations, as the following illustration for the Helvetica typeface family shows:  
Pitch and point size  
The size of a font is specified as either a pitch or point size, depending on whether the font is fixed  
space or proportional.  
185  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
In fixed space fonts, each character has the same width. Pitch is used to specify the size of fixed space  
fonts. It is a measure of the number of characters that will print in one horizontal inch of type. For  
example, all 10-pitch fonts print 10 characters per inch (cpi) and all 12-pitch fonts print 12 cpi:  
In proportional (or typographic) fonts, every character can have a different width. Since proportional  
fonts have characters with different widths, the font size is specified in point size, not pitch. Point size  
refers to the height of the characters in the font. A point is defined as 1/72 inch. The characters in a font  
printed at 24 point will be twice as large as the characters in the same font printed at 12 point.  
The following illustration shows samples of a font printed in different point sizes:  
The point size of a font is defined as the distance from the top of the tallest character in the font to the  
bottom of the lowest character in the font. Due to the definition of point size, different fonts printed at  
the same point size may appear quite different in size. This is because there are other font parameters  
that affect how the font looks. However, the point size of a font is an excellent specification of the  
relative size of a font. The following examples illustrate two very different proportional fonts at 14 point:  
186  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
Bitmapped and scalable fonts  
The printer uses both bitmapped and scalable fonts.  
Bitmapped fonts are stored in printer memory as predefined patterns of bits that represent a typeface  
at a specific size, style, and resolution. The following illustration shows an example of a character from  
a bitmapped font.  
Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts. Contact  
the place where you bought your printer for more information about downloadable fonts.  
Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of  
the characters in the font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a  
bitmap of the characters at the point size you choose and saves it temporarily in printer memory.  
These temporary bitmapped fonts are deleted when you turn off or reset the printer. Scalable fonts  
provide the flexibility of printing in many different point sizes.  
Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading fonts to the printer. PCL 6 emulation  
uses Intellifont and TrueType scalable fonts. PostScript 3 emulation uses Type 1 and TrueType scalable  
fonts. There are thousands of different scalable fonts available in these different font formats from  
numerous font suppliers.  
If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts or if you plan to use many different  
sizes of scalable fonts, you may need to purchase additional memory for your printer.  
187  
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800  
Resident fonts  
Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in printer memory. Different fonts are  
available in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and  
Times New Roman, are available for all printer languages.  
The following table lists all the fonts resident in your printer. See Printing a font sample list for  
instructions on how to print samples of the fonts. You can select the resident fonts from your software  
application, or from the operator panel if you are using PCL 6 emulation.

Symbol sets  
A symbol set is the collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special  
characters available in the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different  
languages or specific applications, such as math symbols used for scientific text.  
In PCL 6 emulation, a symbol set also defines which character will print for each key on the keyboard  
(or more specifically, for each code point). Some applications require different characters at some code  
points. To support multiple applications and languages, your printer has 83 symbol sets for the resident  
PCL 6 emulation fonts.
