Fonts

Your printer supports both bitmapped and scalable fonts in a wide range of character sets for use in a number of European languages.

You can see a list and printed examples of all the fonts resident in the printer by printing a font list.

To print the font list:

1.Press the ON LINE key to take the printer OFF line.

2.Press and hold the Print Fonts key for more than 2 seconds, then release. Press the ← or → key to select PCL5c or Adobe Postscript fonts and then press the ENTER key. After a short delay a list of all the selected fonts, together with examples of what they look like, will emerge.

Bit Mapped Fonts

These are character shapes stored as a collection of dots (bits). They are stored in a fixed size. If you print enlarged versions you will see jagged edges around the characters, due to the enlarged dots.

Examples of resident bit mapped fonts are LinePrinter, OCR- A, OCR-B and UPSZIP (bar codes).

Scalable Fonts

English

 

These are stored as outline curves represented by mathematical

 

formulae, and may be scaled larger without loss of print

 

resolution.

 

When scalable fonts are used in a document a temporary bit

 

map of each character is created in a special part of the printer’s

 

memory called the font cache. This bit map is produced at the

 

full operating resolution of the printer, either 300 or 600dpi,

 

depending on which is currently selected, so no jagged edges

 

are apparent.

 

Examples of resident scalable fonts are Courier, CG Times and

 

Univers. There are many other resident fonts stored in your

 

printer, as you will see when you print the font list.

 

Using Fonts in Windows Applications

 

If you run Windows on your computer you will be familiar with

 

the selection of different fonts within your documents.

 

Most Windows applications use TrueType fonts, a scalable font

 

technology pioneered by Apple Computer Corp. Most TrueType

 

fonts in Windows documents will download to the printer

 

automatically as they are required. However, if you choose the

 

printer’s resident fonts, your documents will generally print

 

faster and use less printer memory.
