Using fonts

There are two sources for the fonts you use in your documents: internal and downloaded. In addition to the internal fonts built into your printer, many programs can send their own fonts to the printer in the same way they send your documents. For instance, Lotus 1-2-3 creates and sends the fonts that it uses to print spreadsheets.

Whether you use internal fonts or fonts downloaded from software, you will most likely need to select your fonts through your software.

Fonts and the control panel

Your software sends font commands along with the document to the printer. If these font commandsare different from what you selected on the printer’s control panel, the software commands always override control panel settings. For this reason, you need to make your font selections through software.

Use the control panel for font selection only when you are sending unformatted text to the printer directly from MS-DOS or when you are using a simple software package that does not include font selections.
