Downloading fonts
The fonts resident in the 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 the printer’s
1 Gbyte internal SCSI hard drive, or on an optional SCSI hard disk attached to the
printer. Refer to Using SCSI Hard Disks for more information on using an external
SCSI disk for font storage. You can download as many outline fonts as the printer’s
memory or hard disk allow. Adding more printer memory expands the number of
fonts that can be downloaded to the printer.
