Non Bi-Directional Printers

Emulex printer servers provide support for printers that do not have bi-
directional communication capabilities. Without this capability, the printer
cannot supply the host with a list of supported fonts. The host must
download fonts to the printer each time it sends an AppleTalk print job. The
printer server can supply this information to the host on behalf of the printer,
thus saving an appreciable amount of time on each job.
To build a font list on the Emulex printer server:
1) View the available fonts on your printer.
2) View the font list on the printer server.
3) Add or remove fonts on the printer server font list.
