Fonts

This chapter describes the types of fonts you can use with the printer, including the printer’s resident and KPDL fonts (option), and symbol sets.

3.1. Bitmap and Scalable Fonts

A font is a set of characters of a particular design. The design is referred to as a typeface. Sev- eral characteristics identify a font. These include the font type (bit map or scalable), symbol set, spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.

The printer provides two types of resident fonts: bitmap fonts and scalable (outline) fonts . Also, fonts may be downloaded to the printer’s memory from a memory card or disk. These fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. The printer accepts as many downloadable fonts as its user available memory permits.
