= SUMMARY =

The NEC LC890 printer can emulate a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 500 Plus printer. However, the fonts that are specified with the LaserJet printer drivers are different widths than the fonts that are internal to the NEC LC890 printer.

Because these fonts have different widths, the characters may not line up properly when creating columns. For example, columns that are created with tabs may appear as though they were created with spaces and a proportionally spaced font.

In LaserJet mode, the only way to print normally is to use a fixed-space font or to use HP downloadable fonts, with the font set’s corresponding printer driver. Using the downloadable font set puts the true HP font in the printer and the width of the font will match the width stated in the printer driver.
