Capturing Fonts From An As/400 Or Iseries - Lexmark MX6500e 6500e User Manual

8.2.1 Capturing Fonts from an AS/400 or iSeries

8.2.1.1 Enabling Font Capture on the Printer
Follow the steps below to enable font capture on the printer. For details refer to RESOURCE CAPTURE
Menu Options on page 45):
1. Select the storage media: Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > RESOURCE CAPTURE >
Capture Media. (This step is only necessary if both disk and flash are installed in the printer.)
2. Activate font capture: Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > RESOURCE CAPTURE >
Capture Fonts. Make sure that the value is set to Enable.
8.2.1.2 Program Requirements
On an AS/400, PSF/400 V4R2 or later is required for making fonts eligible for capture. All iSeries
releases support font capture.
8.2.1.3 Making Bitmap LF1 and Outline LF3 font Fonts Eligible for Capture on an iSeries host
Two steps are required to capture fonts. These are:
1. Make the font resource eligible for capture.
To mark a font resource eligible for capture, set FNTCAPTURE to *YES. This is done when you create
the font resource using the CRTFNTRSC command or change the font resource using the CHGFNTRSC
command. A raster font is built from a font character set and a code page. Both of these font resources
must be marked eligible for the raster font to be captured. Additional information on font capture may be
found in iSeries Printer Device Programming Version 5 (SC41-5713-04).
2. Identify the printer as being capable of capturing fonts.
Set the FNTCAPTURE parameter to *YES in the printer PSFCONFIG.
8.2.1.4 Making TrueType Fonts eligible for Capture on an iSeries host
The Font Installer for AFP Systems can mark TrueType fonts as eligible for capture. However, this is not
related to the Font capture flag available to AFP fonts.
For detailed information about TrueType font capture, refer to the guide "Using OpenType Fonts in an
AFP System" (G544-5876-00).
