Adding More 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 reinitialize it. If you plan on downloading many fonts, make 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 clic king on the 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 instructions.
If you are sending unformatte d text to the printer directly f rom 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 utility. For instructions,
see Chapter 5.
Note:
Selecting a font using the Remo te Control Panel utility is not recommended.
Selecting fonts from your so ft ware program is easier, and an y fo nt selection you
make from your softwa re overrides the sele ction you make from t he Remote Control
Panel.
