Adding More Fonts Fonts that reside on your computer’s hard disk can be download ed, or
transferred, to the printer so they can be printed. Downloaded font s, also
called soft fonts, remain in printer memory until you turn off the pr int er
or otherwise reinitialize it. If you plan on downloading many fo nts, ma ke
sure your printer has sufficient memory.
Downloading fonts
Most font packages make it easy to install 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.
If you’re running Windows, you can also install fonts by click ing o n th e
Fonts icon in the Control Panel. Once installed, the fonts are available in
all your Windows applications.
Selecting Fonts Whenever possible select fonts from the font list in your software
application. See your software documentation for instructio ns.
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 with the Remote Control Panel ut ility. For
instructions, see Chapter 5.
Note:
Selecting a font using the Remote Control Pan el utility is not recommended.
Selecting fonts from your software program is e asier, and any font selection you
make from your software overrides the selectio n you make from the Remote
Control Panel.
