OWNLOADING FONTS
In addition to the fonts already installed on the printer, the Elite 12 Series includes 45
downloadable fonts, also designed by Bitstream.
When you print a document, the fonts you need must be present in the printer's
internal memory (RAM or ROM). If you use fonts which are not built into the printer,
they are automatically downloaded from your computer along with the print job.
You can also manually download fonts to the printer's RAM from the Mac OS by using
the LaserWriter Utility, included with the Elite 12 Series software, or downloaders includ-
ed with many font packages. Manually downloading fonts can make printing faster.
When fonts are manually downloaded to the printer, they remain in the printer's RAM
and available for all print jobs sent to the printer for as long as the printer is switched on;
the fonts are removed from RAM when the printer is switched off. For more information
on downloading fonts, see the Elite 12 Series CD-ROM.
U
SING AN EXTERNAL HARD DISK WITH THE
The Elite 1212 provides a SCSI port so you can connect an external hard disk. This disk
is used to store additional PostScript and TrueType fonts. Using an external disk for font
storage is faster than downloading from the computer each time and it leaves more
available memory. This improves performance. If necessary, you can install up to seven
hard disks to your printer. For more information on connecting an external hard disk to
the Elite 1212, see the Elite 12 Series CD-ROM.
The SCSI interface on the printer has an HDI 30 connector. The cable that has an HDI
30 plug is often sold as an "Apple PowerBook" SCSI cable.
