Your Star LaserPrinter4111can use two other kinds of fonts, along with those built into the printer.

Cartridge fonts, like the internal ones, are permanently stored on ROM chips. The difference is that those ROMs are in removable cartridges. Your Star LaserPrinter 4111has a slot for one font cartridge.

A cartridge may hold anywhere from half a dozen to two dozen fonts, all differing from the internal fonts in size, style, stroke weight or symbol set. You’ll find that cartridge fonts open up a wider range of typefaces too, such as Roman, Prestige, H-Gothic and L-Gothic. Generally, cartridge and internal font typefaces are suitable for both text and headlines.

The third kind of font is neither built into your Star LaserPrinter 4111nor available just by slipping in a cartridge. You do~’nloucithis kind of font, which means you use a computer program [o send characters from a computer disk to your printer’s memory. Any downloaded font (sometimes called a “soft” or “installed” font) that you put into the printer’s RAM disappears when you turn off the printer, so you have to download that font again next time you want it.
