Phaser 220 Color Printers
The fonts resident in Phaser 220 printers are stored in the printer as outlines
and are always available for printing. The PostScript interpreter in the
printer can also accept and store additional fonts known as downloadable
fonts. If you want to print PostScript outline fonts that are not built into the
printer, you can transfer or download outline fonts from your computer to
the printer. Downloading fonts saves print time if you plan to print several
documents or a large document using those fonts.
When you download a font, it is stored in the printerÕs memory or on a SCSI
hard disk attached to the printer. You can download as many outline fonts
as the printerÕs memory or hard disk allow.
A font downloader is an interactive program that lets you transfer Adobe
fonts and other PostScript Þles to the printer. Use one of the following Þles
depending on your computer. There are separate font downloading
instructions for Macintosh and PC users.
