There are basically 3 steps involved regarding font capture as follows:
1. Display current font marking status.
Mark fonts for capture.
Send job from host to printer with the font and font character set you want printer to capture.
Fonts on the host can be marked either "PUBLIC", "PRIVATE", or "UNMARKED". In order for the
printer to capture fonts as resident the fonts must be marked "PUBLIC" on the host. Fonts marked
"PRIVATE" are only temporarily downloaded and are removed from printer by the host. "UNMARKED"
fonts are treated the same as if they were marked "PRIVATE" and will not be captured as printer resident
fonts.
Detailed examples of the three steps are shown below.
