LJ SERIES 2D EMULATIONSymbol setThe symbol set defines the characters available in a font and thenumeric values with which they are associated. Symbol sets aredesigned for different languages and applications where specialcharacters are required.Each font matches a specific symbol set. Therefore, for a font tobe available in more than one symbol set, there must be aseparate version of the font in the printer for each symbol set.Font sourceThe Printer Status Sheet identifies a font as coming from thefollowing sources:• Resident, including the internal Laser Jet II ‘F’ cartridge• The left cartridge slot• The right cartridge slot• Downloaded as a Hewlett-Packard Soft Font.SpacingSpacing indicates whether a font is proportionally spaced or offixed pitch. Characters in a proportionally-spaced font havevarying widths (e.g., the letter “i” takes up less space on a linethan the letter “m.”). Fixed-pitch characters, on the other hand,occupy all the same amount of space.PitchPitch specifies the number of characters per inch (cpi) printed bya fixed-pitch font. The pitch characteristic has no bearing onproportionally-spaced fonts.HeightThe height of a font is measured in points (1/72nd of an inch)from the lowest descender to the top of the highest character(excluding accents).StyleStyle refers to whether characters are upright or italic.3-4 XEROX 4213 LASER PRINTER PROGRAMMER REFERENCE
