Resident typefaces (PCL5)
For PCL5 (Printer Command Language) printing (HP Laserjet III emulation), the printer supports Courier, Times, and Universe typefaces in medium, bold, italic medium, and italic bold. (PCL5 support is optionally available with the Extended Features option, and must be separately enabled. Refer to the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for details.)
Downloading Macintosh and TrueType fonts
The fonts resident in the Phaser 300X printer are stored in the printer as outlines and are always available for printing. The PostScript interpreter in the printer can also accept and store additional fonts known as downloadable fonts. If you want to print PostScript outline fonts that are not built into the printer, you can transfer or download outline fonts from your computer to the printer. Downloading fonts saves print time if you plan to print several documents or a large document using those fonts.
When you download a font, it is stored in the printer’s memory or on a SCSI hard disk attached to the printer. You can download as many outline fonts as the printer’s memory or hard disk allow.
The printer accepts Type 1 and Type 3 downloadable fonts including those from Adobe, Agfa, Bitstream, Microsoft, Apple, and many others.
The Phaser 300X Color Printer also accepts TrueType downloadable fonts which can be scaled to any point size. TrueType fonts look the same on the screen as they do when printed.
You download a font from a PC or Macintosh the same way you download fonts to any PostScript printer. Follow the documentation that was shipped with your fonts.
If you have an external hard disk connected to the printer, you can store the downloadable fonts on it.
