Understanding Fonts
Font
A font is a specific group of characters that have common style and size characteristics.
Your printer can store a variety of different fonts in its memory for printing. Since these fonts reside in printer memory, they are called resident fonts. This printer uses two types of resident fonts: scalable fonts and bitmap fonts.
In addition to resident fonts, you can also download
Scalable Fonts
Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) can be enlarged or reduced (scaled) to suit your printing needs. There are few limitations on the sizes that you can specify for scalable fonts.
Bitmap Fonts
A bitmap font is stored in printer memory as a set of characters and symbols with a specific size and unique design. Each bit of the font is precisely mapped, so this type of font cannot be scaled to different sizes.
This printer maintains 10 TrueType fonts and 35 Intellifont typefaces in memory.
Soft Font
A soft font is downloaded from host computer to printer memory when it is required. The selection of both scalable fonts and bitmap fonts available to the printer can be expanded using soft fonts.
