temporarily in printer memory. These temporary bitmapped fonts
are deleted when you turn off or reset the printer. Scalable fonts
provide the flexibility of printing in many different point sizes.
Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading
fonts to the printer. PCL 5 emulation uses Intellifont and TrueType
scalable fonts. PCL 6 emulation uses TrueType scalable fonts only.
PostScript Level 2 emulation uses Type 1 and TrueType scalable
fonts. There are thousands of different scalable fonts available in
these different font formats from numerous font suppliers.
If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts
or if you plan to use many different sizes of scalable fonts, you may
need to purchase additional memory for your printer. See "Printer
Memory Option" on page 299 for more information.
Your printer comes equipped with resident fonts stored perma-
nently in printer memory. There are 75 scalable fonts in PCL 5,
PCL 6 and PostScript Level 2 emulation. In addition, PCL 5 has
two bitmapped fonts.
