# .default command

The .default command sends the device
a control code to select the default font.

**Synonyms:** .df

Most laser printers have a *reset* or *default* code. This code is supplied to the Output processor by the cursor
control block (CCB) using the assignfq spooler
command.

Note: If the printer does not support a default font,
this command has no effect.

## Syntax
