    Adding more fonts
    You can add a wide variety of fonts to your computer. Most font packages include an 
    installer for this purpose.
    See your computer documentation for instructions on installing fonts.
    Selecting fonts
    Whenever possible select fonts in your application. See your software documentation for 
    instructions.
    If you are sending unformatted text to the printer directly from DOS or if you are using a 
    simple software package that does not include font selection, you can select fonts using 
    the product’s control panel menus when in the LJ4, ESC/P 2, FX, or I239X emulation 
    mode.
    Downloading fonts
    Fonts that reside on your computer’s hard disk can be downloaded, or transferred, to the 
    printer so they can be printed. Downloaded fonts, also called soft fonts, remain in printer 
    memory until you turn off the product or otherwise reset it. If you plan on downloading many 
    fonts, make sure your printer has sufficient memory.
    Most font packages make it easy to manage fonts by providing their own installer. The 
    installer gives you the option of having the fonts automatically downloaded whenever you 
    start your computer or having fonts downloaded only when you need to print a particular 
    font.

    Symbol Sets
    Introduction to symbol sets
    Your printer can access a variety of symbol sets. Many of these symbol sets differ only in 
    the international characters specific to each language.
    Note:
    Since most software handles fonts and symbols automatically, you will probably never need to 
    adjust the printer’s settings. However, if you are writing your own printer control programs, or if you 
    are using older software that cannot control fonts, refer to the following sections for symbol set 
    details.
    When you are considering which font to use, you should also consider which symbol set to 
    combine with the font. Available symbol sets vary depending on which emulation mode you 
    use and which font you choose.
    In the PCL5 mode
    The following symbol sets are available in LJ4 emulation mode.
