Downloading

Fonts and

Macros

Digital LN17 printer drivers provide you with the ability to download fonts and PCL 5e macros to the printer.

Fonts can be downloaded to printer memory or to the optional hard drive. Macros can be downloaded to printer memory or the optional hard drive.

•To download fonts, you must first install the appropriate LN17 Windows 3.1/Windows 95, Macintosh, Windows NT, or UNIX drivers. To download macros, you must install the LN17 Windows PCL 5e driver.

The DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS software includes a sample Digital Command Language (DCL) procedure that you can use to add, list, and remove Postscript fonts from the printer’s hard drive. SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DCPS] - FONT_DOWNLOADER.COM is this procedure.

•Fonts and macros downloaded to the hard drive are stored on the hard drive until you delete them. Turning the printer power off does not clear these fonts/macros from the hard drive.

You can only delete a macro from the hard drive if you know the name of the macro. You should therefore keep a record of downloaded macros. (You cannot print out a list of macros.).

•“Temporary” fonts/macros downloaded to printer memory, on a job basis, are cleared from the printer’s memory after each job.

•“Permanent” fonts downloaded to printer memory are cleared from the printer’s memory whenever the printer is powered off, and when the printer switches PDLs and the

State Saving option is set to Off.

(When State Saving is set to On, “permanent” fonts/ macros are only cleared from printer memory when you turn off the printer.)
