Installing TrueType fonts
The TrueType fonts that are supplied on one of the 3.5” floppy disks that come
with the printer can be used only when you are running Windows 3.1 or later.
Use the following procedure to install the fonts.
❏Launch Windows.
❏Close any applications that may be open.
❏Open the Windows Control Panel.
❏Double-click the Fonts icon and the Fonts dialog box appears.
❏Click Add and the Add Fonts dialog box appears.
❏Insert the disk that contains the fonts into one of your computer’s disk
drives. This explanation assumes you are using a drive named “A:”, but you
could use any drive. Just remember to change the “A:” in the following
steps to the name of the drive you are using.
❏Select the letter that represents the drive where the floppy disk is installed.
When you do, the names of all the fonts on the disk appear in the List of
Fonts window. Select the fonts you want to install by clicking on their
names. If you want to install all of the fonts, click Select All.
❏Click OK. The Fonts dialog box appears and installation is performed. The
names of the newly installed fonts are automatically added to the Installed
Fonts list.
❏If you were in an application program when you installed the new fonts,
you will need to select Printer Setup from the application’s FILE menu,
and reselect the printer. After that, the application can display on-screen
text and print text on the printer using the newly install fonts.
Selecting fonts in Windows applications
Refer to the manual of the application you are using for details on how to select
fonts within that application.
In addition to the Windows fonts, you can also use the TrueType fonts that come
with this printer.
