Pcl Mode; No Cartridges Required - Ricoh Aficio FX10 Operator's Manual

PC-PRINTING Printing modes
PCL Mode
No cartridges required
Some conventional printers include cartridge slots that allow you to, for
example, install additional fonts into the printer. Since OfficeStyler T1 O creates
printer page images on your system before downloading to the printer,
installing a cartridge could not affect the final printout. Instead, OfficeStyler T1 O
uses the fonts installed in your Windows system.
Saving downloaded fonts and macros in PCL mode
By default, when your application prints using OfficeStylerT10"s PCL mode,
the PCL interpreter will start up, print the document, and then shut itself off
automatically. This means the PCL interpreter does not take up memory on
your PC except when needed.
However, when the PCL interpreter turns itself off, any downloaded fonts or
macros will be lost, just as if you had turned off a regular PCL printer. You can
preserve this information by using the OfficeStyler T1 O Print Manager to keep
the PCL interpreter active.

Double-click Printer Console icon in the OfficeStyler TIO Tools,(Windows 3,x)
Click the "Start" button, point to "OfficeStyler TI O Tools" in "Programs",
and then click "Printer Console". (Windows 95)
Download macros or soft fonts in advance, if desired, using the ADD
button to copy the macro or soft font data to the printer. (You can also copy
the files from DOS under Windows, by using the command "COPY/B .ext
LPT1", where .ext is the name of the file you wish to download.)
Minimize the OfficeStyler T1 O Print Manager to an icon, if desired.
Start or return to your application and print your document.
This will preserve your downloaded fonts and macros. Also, if your next print
job also uses PCL, it will take less time to print because the OfficeStyler PCL
interpreter has already been loaded. However, if you switch from PCL to GDI
mode, this information will be lost, just as if you were changing printer
languages in a conventional printer.
