download or create fonts. See the ANSI X3.64 Program-
ming Manual for more information.
NOTE: The printer's memory can store 64 fonts at one
time (standard and download) depending on the number of
"bytes available" for fonts and overlays. The charts at the
beginning of this appendix and the status summary sheet
list the number of bytes that each font uses in memory and
the total available number of bytes. If either the maximum
number of fonts or the total available number of bytes is
exceeded, no more fonts or overlays will be accepted into
memory.
You may purchase download fonts from other computer
software sources. To download fonts to the printer means
transmitting data from your computer that includes "bit-
maps" for a character set. The printer stores the data in its
memory as a font. A font number is included in the data
that you transmit from your computer. Once stored in the
printer's memory, the font may be recalled by issuing a
font selection command for that font number.
You may also create your own download fonts. Com-
mands in the ANSI command mode, Epson, Proprinter,
and LaserJet emulation modes are used as "font headers"
(data that alerts the printer to a download font transmis-
sion and assigns a font number). Refer to the Epson,
Proprinter, and LaserJet sections of this manual or to the
ANSI X3.64 Programming Manual for more information.

Using Multiple Cartridges
The printer's ANSI command mode provides a command
that allows the copying of a font cartridge's contents into
the printer's memory (depending on the space in mem-
ory available for fonts). Once a font cartridge's contents
are copied into memory, the cartridge may be removed
and another cartridge inserted in the font cartridge slot.
You may continue copying font cartridges into memory
