PostScript Fonts

Your printer includes the standard 35 PostScript fonts. When you install the EPSONScript software, the screen fonts that match the printer fonts are also installed, ensuring that the screen display matches the final printed output.

You select fonts from the Font menu of your software application. In most cases, a screen font has the same name as the corresponding printer font. In other cases, the name of the font you select is different from the name of the font that prints, even though the appearance is almost the same.

The following table lists the standard font names, available styles, and the corresponding printer font names (if different):
