  • Page 74: Elements Of A Font

    Elements of a Font Typeface Note When you select a typeface through your word processing program or other software, you may be prompted to select a point size or pitch. When you set up your page layout, you will also choose whether the text will be in portrait or landscape orientation.

  • Page 75: Figure C-2.2. Examples Of Various Point Sizes

    Point Size “Point size” refers to the height of your type measured in points (1/72 of an inch). All of your printer’s proportionally spaced internal typefaces are scalable from .25 point to a maximum of 999.75 points in quarter-point increments, depending on the capabilities of your software.

  • Page 76: Figure C-2.4. Portrait And Landscape Orientations

    Orientation Portrait orientation is vertical – see Figure C-2.4, Item 1. Landscape orientation is horizontal – see Figure C- 2.4, Item 2. When the printer receives a software command to print in landscape orientation, it will automatically rotate any internal and accessory font to print along the wide edge of your paper (landscape mode).

    Selecting Fonts Default Font Fonts are selected through the software you are using. Look in your software documentation for topics such as “font selection,” “base font,” “printer setup,” “print options”, “font appearance”, “change font,” or “select type.” Here are a couple of simple rules to remember regarding font selection: 1) Do not mix PCL and PostScript fonts in the same document.

    Considerations for Shared Printer Environments Your digital duplicator may be connected to other computers besides yours. This is done one of several ways: 1. Two computers may use the digital duplicator simultaneously using either of the two direct connection interfaces on the back of the controller (parallel or LocalTalk).

  • Page 80: Font Selection Priority

    Font Selection Priority This is the order in which your controller selects its fonts: 1. First, the controller looks for a downloaded soft font. 2. If the requested font is not available as a disk- based font (“soft font”), the controller checks for fonts in its memory (SIMM).
