The Printer is Silent radio button disables bidirectional communication between your computer and printer; any messages from your printer are ignored. If Printer is Silent is selected, you cannot get printer information or font lists.

Managing fonts

The EpsonScript Utility allows you to list the fonts currently stored at the printer, download fonts from your computer to the printer, and remove downloaded fonts.

Displaying a list of printer fonts

To display a list of resident and downloaded fonts available on your printer, bring up the EpsonScript Utility and select your printer using PostScript Printers and AppleTalk Zones. Then click the List Fonts button.

Downloading fonts

The Download button downloads fonts from your computer to the selected printer. Fonts downloaded in this way remain in printer memory until you turn off the printer or reset it.

If your document requires non-resident fonts, they are downloaded automatically. Using EpsonScript to download fonts can reduce the time it takes to print, because fonts you explicitly download are handled in the same way as resident fonts. They remain in printer memory until you turn off or reset the printer, or remove them (see “Removing downloaded fonts”).

Note:

Downloading an excessive number of fonts can take away from the amount of printer RAM available to describe a printed page.
