Font Downloading
In addition to selecting resident fonts in your printer or
fonts provided via plug-in cartridges, you can download
a wide variety of fonts to improve your choices for each
print job. The data sent to the printer to download a new
font includes:
Font specification information
Bit maps for each character in the font
With downloadable fonts obtained from third-party sources,
all this information resides in a single disk file. These
fonts are downloaded simply by copying the file to your
QMS printer. Some applications automatically download
fonts as needed.
The more general method of font downloading involves
separately sending to the printer the font specifications
and the bit map for each individual character in the font's
character set. This gives you the flexibility to download
individual characters from any font you desire.
NOTE: Download fonts designed for use with LaserJet
printers may NOT be used while the printer is in any
emulation mode other than LaserJet Emulation Mode.
