Fonts

This section describes the actions you may need to perform to make your fonts available for use with the DocuPrint IPS printers. Review each section to determine if it applies to your site.

Printer-resident fonts versus downloading fonts

PSF can access fonts two ways:

referencing them from the host system

referencing them from the printer.

Any user with the proper security access rights can access fonts that reside on the host. In contrast, all users can access fonts stored on the printer, regardless of security rights. The DocuPrint IPS printers support single-byte outline and double-byte outline fonts, but do not support resident raster fonts.

IBM AFP font collection

IBM delivers a standard set of 240 and 300 pel fonts with their printers. If your current printer only supports 240 pel, you may not have installed the 300 pel fonts. You may choose to purchase the IBM Font Collection which contains over 1,000 fonts in various formats and resolutions.

Xerox recommends that you upgrade to the 300 pel font libraries since these fonts provide better print quality on most DocuPrint IPS printers. If you have a DocuPrint 180 IPS, however, you may continue to use the 240 dpi fonts since both the 240 and 300 dpi fonts print with a high print quality due to the enhanced resolution marking engine.

The following sections provide information on the various types of fonts provided by IBM.

Sonoran fonts

Sonoran fonts are proportional fonts, available in Serif, Sans Serif, and Petite formats. They are available in both 240 and 300 pel resolutions.

Sonoran fonts are the only AFP typographic font available for the original version of PSF. If you are a long-time AFP customer, you will most likely have purchased these fonts. If you plan to continue using Sonoran fonts for printing to DocuPrint IPS printers, make sure that you use the 300 pel version for the best resolution quality.

The use of Core interchange fonts is recommended over using

Sonoran fonts.

Compatibility fonts

The Compatibility fonts provide compatibility with IBM 3800 Model 1 printer technology and impact printer technology. These fonts are available in both unbounded and bounded box format and are generally used for applications printed to 3800 printers.
