The 9825, 985x, and 9860 printers can also accept downloaded TrueType fonts. The MONARCH® MPCL Toolbox (Font Utility) is available on our Web site and converts TrueType fonts to Hex or Run-Length encoding for the printer. Previously, the printers could accept a TrueType bitmap font that was converted to a bitmapped file using the Font Utility. However, you were limited to a particular character set and specific point size.

When downloading a TrueType font, you download the entire font. You cannot specify a subset (particular characters or point size) of the font. This allows you to print a variety of Code Pages with International (Turkish, Latin, Spanish, etc.) characters. TrueType fonts are designed to be regionally specific; therefore, all code pages may not be supported in a given font.

These font files are large and may image slower than bitmap fonts. The size of the font file, in bytes, is the minimum amount of memory you must have available for fonts in the printer’s downloadable fonts buffer.

You may need to reconfigure the printer’s memory to use downloaded TrueType fonts. After reconfiguring memory, resend the font, format, and batch packets. See "Defining the Memory Configuration Packet" in Chapter 2 for more information. Also, Chapter 2 lists some special considerations when defining memory for downloaded TrueType fonts.
