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 clicking 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 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 utility. For instructions, see Chapter 5.
Note:
Selecting a font using the Remote Control Panel utility is not recommended. Selecting fonts from your software program is easier, and any font selection you make from your software overrides the selection you make from the Remote Control Panel.
