Types of Fonts
Your printer uses the following types of fonts:
■Resident fonts
■Fonts downloaded into printer RAM, hard drive, or flash memory
■Fonts downloaded with your print job from the application
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) software enables your computer to display these fonts on your computer screen as they will appear in your prints.
If you do not have ATM on your computer:
1.Install it from the Software and Documentation CD.
2.Install the printer’s screen fonts for your computer from the ATM folder.
Downloading Fonts
To supplement the resident fonts (which are always available for printing), you can download fonts from your computer to the printer’s memory or to the printer’s hard drive or flash memory. Downloading fonts to a printer can improve printing performance and reduce network traffic.
You can list, print, and download PostScript, PCL, and TrueType fonts to your printer using the Dell Printer Font Management Utility. This utility helps you manage fonts, macros, and forms on a printer’s hard drive.
Use the Software and Documentation CD to download and install the Font Management Utility.
Note: If you turn off the printer, the fonts you download to memory are deleted. You must download them again when you turn on the printer. Fonts downloaded to the hard drive are not deleted when you turn off the printer.
