Resident Fonts - Dell 3000cn Color Laser Printer User Manual

Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts. Contact the place where you
bought your printer for more information about downloadable fonts.
Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of the characters in the
font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a bitmap of the characters at the point size you
choose and saves it 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 6 uses Intellifont 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.
