Appendix F: Fonts

The Elite 21 printer ships with 136 standard PostScript fonts in 42 font families. This collection of fonts matches the standard PostScript Level 3 font set. To print out a listing of the resident PostScript fonts on the printer along with a sample of each typeface, follow these steps:

•Start the printer and wait for the LCD display to read Ready.

•Press either Menu key until Information appears.

This will print out a page with samples of all the available resident PostScript fonts on the printer.

The printer also ships with 80 standard resident PCL 6 fonts. A sample of these fonts can be printed following the steps listed above, but selecting “Print PCL Fonts” rather than Print PS Fonts.

The printer is also compatible with any downloadable TrueType, Type 1 or PCL font loaded onto your computer.
