Appendix: Understanding Fonts
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 5 emulation uses Intellifont, Type 1, and
TrueType scalable fonts. PostScript Level 2 emulation uses Type 1
and TrueType scalable fonts. There are thousands of different scal-
able 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. See "Printer
Memory" on page 210 for more information.
Your printer comes equipped with resident fonts stored perma-
nently in printer memory. Most fonts are available in
PCL 5 emulation and PostScript Level 2 emulation. Some of the
most popular typefaces, like Courier and Times New Roman, are
available for all printer languages. To print a list of fonts, select
TESTS MENU, Print Fonts, and then either: PCL Fonts or PS 2
Fonts from the printer operator panel.
