Fonts

This chapter describes the types of fonts you can use with the printer, including the printer's internal fonts.

3.1.Internal Fonts

A font is a set of characters of a particular design. The design is referred to as a typeface. Several characteristics identify a font. These include the code set (For details on the code sets, please read the Programming Manual on the supplied CD-ROM.), spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.

The printer has 80 PCL/PS compatible fonts and a bitmap font for a line printer loaded into it. Also fonts may be downloaded to the printer's memory from a memory card or disk. These fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. The printer accepts as many downloadable fonts as its user available memory permits.
