Downloaded resources

Types of files you can download
The items you can store in flash memory or on disk depend on the printer language you
use. If you're using PostScript 3 emulation, you can store the following resources:
• Adobe Type 1 and Type 3 format fonts
• Type 42 format fonts
• PostScript programs, such as user dictionaries
If you're using PCL emulation, you can store:
• PCL bitmap fonts
• CompuGraphic-format PCL emulation scalable fonts
• PCL macros (containing forms, logos, and so on)
• User-defined PCL symbol sets
Note: You cannot download forms or logos that are not part of a macro.
Demo programs
You can create a special type of file called a demonstration program, or a demo program ,
using the Windows PostScript driver for the printer. Demo files can also be standard
user-developed PostScript or PCL programs that you download to flash memory or disk
from MarkVision. Once a demo is created, you can also use it as an overlay with the Post-
Script driver.
Printing a demo file directly from the operator panel can be useful in environments such
as banks, where regularly used forms can be printed at the touch of a button without the
printer being attached to a host system.
TrueType fonts
You cannot store TrueType fonts directly onto flash or disk. If you have TrueType fonts you
want to store on flash or disk, you must convert them into a PCL format supported by
flash or disk. A font converter is included on the CD shipped with the printer.
