Describing Resident Fonts
Resident fonts, also called internal fonts, are fonts that are stored on the printer. By
storing these fonts on the printer, the fonts do not need to be downloaded from the
operating system which helps improve print time. There are two types of fonts available:
PCL and Adobe PostScript. The PCL fonts are standard, while the Adobe PostScript
fonts are only available if the Adobe PostScript feature is installed or your purchased
the IBM Network Printer 24PS model.
Network Administrator Tip
By using resident fonts, printing time may be improved because the fonts do not
need to be downloaded from the operating system. In a network environment,
reducing the number of fonts that are downloaded per print job could increase print
performance. You may want to encourage your users to select and use from their
applications those fonts that are resident on the printer.
PCL Fonts
The following PCL fonts are resident on the printer. If you are not familiar with these
fonts, you can print a listing of these fonts directly from the printer. See “Printing a List
of PCL5e Fonts” on page 39 for information on printing a font list.
