Lexmark 3455 manual Font Support Overview

B.2 Font Support Overview

There are 3 major sets of fonts supported by the SIMM for IPDS.

IBM 4028 Compatibility Font Set

IBM 38xx Compatibility Font Set

NIBM Core Interchange Font Set IBM Coordinated Font Set

The 4028 Compatibility Font Set is compatible with the 4028 and the 3112/16 printers. These fonts are supported as 300 dpi bitmaps. For some of these fonts the IPDS can use an equivalent scalable font. This is controlled by the Font Type option under IPDS MENU. When this option is set to Use Scalable, improved font quality will result, since the scalable fonts use the higher resolution of the printer. This font set is available in 4028, 3112/16 and 43xx mode.

The 3812/16 Compatible Font Set is compatible with the 3812/16 printer fonts. These 240 dpi fonts are converted to the IPDS working resolution (600 or 1200 dpi). Some of the fonts can also be replaced by Scalable Equivalents for better quality. This font set is only available in 3812/16 mode.

All printer emulations support the Core Interchange Font Set and the Coordinated Font Set.
