Adding more fonts

You can add a wide variety of fonts to your computer. Most font packages include an installer for this purpose.

See your computer documentation for instructions on installing fonts.

Selecting fonts

Whenever possible select fonts in your application. See your software documentation for instructions.

If you are sending unformatted text to the printer directly from DOS or if you are using a simple software package that does not include font selection, you can select fonts using the printer’s control panel menus when in the LJ4, ESC/P 2, FX, or I239X emulation mode.

Downloading fonts

Fonts that reside on your computer’s hard disk can be downloaded, or transferred, to the printer so they can be printed. Downloaded fonts, also called soft fonts, remain in printer memory until you turn off the printer or otherwise reset it. If you plan on downloading many fonts, make sure your printer has sufficient memory.

Most font packages make it easy to manage fonts by providing their own installer. The installer gives you the option of having the fonts automatically downloaded whenever you start your computer or having fonts downloaded only when you need to print a particular font.
