The fonts in the PCL emulation are compatible with the fonts in the HP LaserJet 4550 and include nine additional fonts and many extra symbol sets to support extra languages and applications. Included in the PCL emulation are OCR-A, OCR-B and Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts. The fonts in the PostScript emulation are compatible with all 136 fonts In Adobe PostScript 3 and include 22 additional fonts.

Additional fonts can be downloaded to the printer RAM or optional Flash Card. PCL emulation supports both scalable and bitmapped downloadable fonts. PostScript emulation supports only downloadable scalable fonts.

Included on the CD shipped with the printer are screen fonts to match the printer’s resident scalable fonts. The CD also includes a variety of downloadable fonts for Hebrew and Arabic.

Support for the euro currency character is included in all applicable fonts for both the PostScript and PCL emulations. Twelve of the PCL symbol sets support the euro character, including all seven Windows symbol sets.

The MFP code includes special Optra S font compatibility modes in both the PostScript and PCL emulations for backward compatibility.

The printer supports Unicode printing with special UTF- 8 encodings in both the PCL and PostScript emulations. UTF-8 encoding is a particular way to access characters that is very useful for fonts with large character sets. UTF-8 is used by our SAP printing solution.

DBCS Font Cards

The optional DBCS (Double-Byte Character Set) font cards provide printer-resident fonts for use printing Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The DBCS font cards are suitable for use in a range of Lexmark printers and MFPs.

Fonts contained in these cards emulate those provided in Microsoft Windows. The Windows drivers provided on the CD that ships with the printer map the Windows system fonts to these printer-resident fonts. The use of printer-resident fonts in the card improves performance and minimizes network traffic, since less data is downloaded to the printer.

Each font card supports encodings appropriate for the language, including Adobe CID font formats.

•Chinese DBCS Fonts – These cards are for use with PCL and PostScript emulations. DCBS font support is available for the following languages

¾Simplified Chinese for China with four scalable fonts

¾Traditional Chinese for Taiwan with three scalable fonts

The fonts used with the PCL emulation are compatible with the fonts in the HP LaserJet Language DIMM Memory options for Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, which are compatible with the HP LaserJet 4050, 4000, 4000 N, 4000 T and 4000 JN printers.

These fonts are available in the PostScript emulation and are compatible with Adobe PostScript 3.
