PCL Menu Settings
2-20 Control Panel
Font
Sets the default character font.
Symbolset
Sets the default symbol set (character set) of the font specified in the font setting. A
symbol set is a collection of letters, numbers, and symbols designed for specific
applications such as scientific equations and international language.
Pitch
Sets the default pitch size for the fixed-pitched font. Pitch is the number of characters that
can be printed in one horizontal inch. For example, a font with a pitch of 10 will print 10
characters for every horizontal inch of text. If a proportionally-spaced font is selected in
the font menu, pitch will not appear on the PCL menu.
Pointsize
This setting specifies the point size for the scalable font. Pointsize is the height of the font
measured in point (1/72 of an inch).

Font
Cartridges
The D640 printer is designed to be compatible with the HP LaserJet 4si. The 4si has two
slots available for font cartridges. HP sells over 50 different font cartridges for 4si and
compatible printers.
The D640 has no slots to hold these cartridges. Instead, we provide the same
functionality with virtual font cartridges. All of the font sets from all of the LaserJet 4si font
cartridges sold by Hewlett-Packard are stored on the D640’s internal hard disk drive. You
select the virtual font cartridge by vcartridge1 and vcartridge2. The font names are
comparable to the actual physical cartridge. For a complete list of the fonts available,
refer to “Using Virtual Font Cartridges” on page 6-26.
Note: Fonts located inside a font cartridge cannot be the printer default font.
