How do you know if a font is permanently downloaded?
•
Specify a font to be permanently downloaded when it is
installed or setup within a software application.
•
Print a PCL Font List (page 3-65) to see all resident fonts,
all fonts installed on any font card, and all permanently
downloaded fonts.
In general, it is not recommended that you permanently
download fonts. Even if unused, permanent fonts occupy
printer memory that cannot be used for other purposes.
In a networked environment, carefully coordinate the use of
permanently downloaded fonts. Avoid allowing multiple
users to specify permanently downloaded fonts since printer
memory may be consumed rapidly and may cause printer
faults.
Additional memory (SIMMs) will enable the printer to hold
more downloaded fonts. See Chapter 1: Introduction,
"Memory Considerations" (page 1-6) and Chapter 5: Adding
Printer Options for more information about printer memory.
