Resident Fonts - Lexmark C510 User Reference Manual

Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of
the characters in the font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a
bitmap of the characters at the point size you choose and saves it temporarily in printer memory.
These temporary bitmapped fonts are deleted when you turn off or reset the printer. Scalable fonts
provide the flexibility of printing in many different point sizes.
Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading fonts to the printer. PCL 6 emulation
uses Intellifont and TrueType scalable fonts. PostScript 3 emulation uses Type 1 and TrueType
scalable fonts. There are thousands of different scalable fonts available in these different font formats
from numerous font suppliers.
If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts or if you plan to use many different
sizes of scalable fonts, you may need to purchase additional memory for your printer.

Resident fonts

Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in printer memory. Different fonts are
available in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier
and Times New Roman, are available for all printer languages.
The following table lists all the fonts resident in your printer. See
instructions on how to print samples of the fonts. You can select the resident fonts from your software
application, or from the operator panel if you are using PCL 6 emulation.
