3.4.4 Using cartridge fonts

An interesting note about default cartridge fonts: Say you have selected on the control panel menu a cartridge font as your default font. Later you turn off the printer. If you slip the cartridge back in before you turn on the printer again, that font will still be your default font.

To download fonts from computer disk you’ll need more than a small 64K microcomputer. We recommend at least a 5 12K computer with a couple of disk drives (a hard disk is better).
