Downloading Fonts From Windows - GCC Technologies Elite XL-20/600 User Manual

Utilities menu functions
Choose:
Name Printer to rename your printer.
Set Startup Page to turn the printer's start page On or Off. This option corresponds
to the Start Page submenu in the front panel of your GCC printer. For example, if
you turn off the start page in the LaserWriter Utility, the Start Page option in the
display window on the front panel will be set to Disabled. (The printer's default is
Enabled.)
Get Page Count to display the total number of pages printed by your GCC printer.
Download PostScript File to send a PostScript file directly to the printer.
Restart Printer to restart the printer between print jobs. This is useful for clearing
downloaded fonts from the printer's memory and is preferable to switching the
printer off and on again, as it will not interrupt another print job.

Downloading fonts from Windows

Type 1 fonts
Type 1 fonts are automatically downloaded to the printer. These fonts are deleted
from the printer's RAM when the print job is complete. However, you may want to
keep downloaded fonts in the printer's RAM for successive print jobs. To maintain
Type 1 fonts in the printer's RAM, manually download the fonts using the font
downloading utility included with your Type 1 font package. Manually downloaded
fonts remain in the printer's RAM until you switch off your GCC printer.
Note: If your normal routine is to download several fonts to the printer, it is a good
idea to adjust the Windows printer driver's virtual memory setting so that it can
better process your documents. Perform the procedure after you have downloaded
your normal set of fonts to the printer.
TrueType fonts
While you can download TrueType fonts to your GCC printer, Windows does not
recognize TrueType fonts as resident fonts. Therefore, the TrueType fonts will still be
downloaded from the PC at print time.
