Handling TrueType fonts

By default, EpsonScript converts TrueType fonts to be compatible with Adobe® Type 1 fonts before printing them. If you wish, you can specify that EpsonScript print TrueType fonts as TrueType.

Because EpsonScript is designed to print PostScript-compatible fonts such as Type 1, you should normally not change the default setting.

Specifying which fonts to download

The Include Fonts option specifies which types of fonts need to be downloaded when printing. The options are All But PPD/Installed (default), None, All, All But Standard 13, All But Standard 35, and AU But Resident.

Normally when using EpsonScript with an ActionLaser 1600, you should not change the default setting of All But PPD/Installed. This ensures that all fonts required by your document are downloaded except those already in the PPD list.

If you are using EpsonScript to print to a printer that is able to communicate with the Macintosh, you might choose All But Resident. In this case, the Macintosh interrogates the printer to determine which fonts are already downloaded. Only fonts not already in printer memory are downloaded.
