Resident typefaces (PCL5C)

For PCL5C (Printer Command Language) printing, the printer supports Courier, Times, and Universe typefaces in medium, bold, italic medium, and italic bold. In addition, there are 46 PCL fonts. The printer port must be set to AutoSelect (which is the default) for the printer to accept PCL data.

Downloading fonts

To supplement the resident fonts (which are always available for printing), downloadable fonts can be sent from your computer and be stored in the printer’s memory or on a hard drive. Adding more printer memory or a hard drive expands the number of fonts that can be stored on your printer. Refer to the Phaser 860 Color Printer User Guide or the Xerox web site for part numbers of the hard drive and memory.

By downloading fonts to a hard disk or memory, you save print time when you use a Macintosh to print large documents or print several documents that use those fonts. Because it has bi-directional communication with the printer, the Macintosh finds out which fonts are already available in the printer memory and on the hard drive, and thus doesn’t spend time downloading those same fonts from the application.

Note

Because PC drivers don’t have bi-directional font communication with the printer, the PC only knows what fonts came with the printer. All other fonts are downloaded from the application, even if they already were downloaded to the hard disk or memory.
