To see how much memory is available for extra fonts, put the printer offline and press the [TEST] button to print a status sheet. Your printer will beep and show a control panel message if you try to overload its memory by downloading too many fonts. It then will continue printing with the closest available font to that requested.

As a general rule, you can include at least a dozen downloadable fonts in a document. Added to the internal fonts, that should be plenty — it doesn’t make good design to mix many typefaces. A telltale sign of amateurish laser printing is too many fonts in one document.

To keep a wide variety of extra fonts in memory, however, many Star LaserPrinter 4111users (especially those sharing the printer on a network) prefer to add the optional board with the second megabyte of RAM.
