List of Internal Fonts
- Thread starter Mak2310
- Start date
Typically, you print out a typeface list from the control panel. There is no guarantee that
a printer has any internal fonts, a hazard encountered in many inexpensive printers.
If printer specs do NOT specify supported printer languages PCL3, PCL5, or PCL6, then there is a good chance there are no internal fonts. For my purposes, I would not purchase a printer that did not support PCL5, PCL6, and Postscript. If the printer has the language capability, you can always generate soft fonts with pclparaphernalia to use outside of a driver in addition to any internal fonts in the printer as well.
