4.Font support and selection

This chapter describes font support and the relationships between IBM and Xerox fonts.

The ability to install customized translate tables and cross reference tables between IBM and Xerox fonts provides you with flexibility for utilizing fonts to suit your individual requirements.

Tables showing the character sets and the supported IBM code pages are found in the ªFont and code set tablesº appendix.

Supported fonts

Your Xerox MRP Family coax printer provides font support for most of the printers it emulates. Support is provided for three categories of fonts:

·Fixed pitch fontsÐYour printer supports fixed pitch fonts matching the fixed pitch capabilities of all the IBM printers emulated.

·Proportionally spaced (PS) fontsÐYour printer provides support for proportionally-spaced fonts using the same PS width values as those used by IBM, thus ensuring a match with IBM PS fonts.

·Typographic fontsÐYour printer provides support for typographic fonts using the same width values as those used by IBM, thus ensuring a match with the resepctive IBM fonts.

The supported fonts are the PCL fonts and the 3816 emulation fonts. In the event the 3816 emulation fonts are not resident on your Xerox MRP Family coax printer, the interface card will use an appropriate PCL resident font. Refer to the ªIBM GFID to PCL fonts attributeº appendix for the appropriate PCL resident font to use.

While the PCL font closest to the requested font is used by the printer, this algorithm may not choose a font with the exact characteristics for the desired output. To have your output exactly match that of a 3816, download the compatibility font set. Otherwise, differences may be observed in margins, justification, and data running off the page.

Included fonts

Your MRP printer equipped with an internal coax interface is shipped with a set of fifty five 3816 emulation fonts. These fonts are supplied on 9-track tapes shipped with the printer. Table 4-1 is a list of the font names that uses the corresponding GFID number shown as the last four digits.

4220/MRP, 4219/MRP, 4215/MRP, 4230/MRP specifications

The Xerox 4219/MRP, 4220/MRP, 4215/MRP, and 4230/MRP are multifunction printers designed for businesses that require efficient printing, copying, and scanning solutions. These models exemplify Xerox's commitment to quality, reliability, and user-friendly features, making them ideal for both small and medium-sized enterprises.

One of the main features of these models is their versatility. They handle a wide range of paper formats, from letter-sized documents to larger legal-sized prints, and support various media types, including glossy and plain paper. This flexibility allows businesses to produce everything from basic documents to vibrant marketing materials without the need for multiple devices.

The Xerox 4219/MRP is noted for its compact design, making it suitable for office environments with limited space. It offers a robust printing speed of up to 19 pages per minute, ensuring fast document output. It incorporates advanced digital technology, ensuring that each print is sharp and clear, providing excellent image quality for both text and graphics.

In contrast, the Xerox 4220/MRP features enhanced printing speed, reaching up to 20 pages per minute. This model is ideal for teams that require higher volumes of prints on a daily basis. Both the 4219 and 4220 models come equipped with intuitive touch-screen controls, simplifying user interactions and minimizing training time.

The Xerox 4215/MRP stands out with its affordability and energy efficiency. This model is designed for budget-conscious businesses without compromising performance. It features automatic duplex printing, which reduces paper usage and cuts down operational costs. Its compact build and easy installation process make it a practical choice for any workspace.

The Xerox 4230/MRP, on the other hand, is designed for higher productivity needs, boasting a printing speed of up to 30 pages per minute. It incorporates advanced connectivity options, including wireless printing capabilities, mobile printing support, and integration with cloud services. This feature enables employees to print from various devices seamlessly, enhancing workflow efficiency.

All four models utilize Xerox’s proprietary imaging technology, ensuring exceptional image quality and consistent performance over time. They also come equipped with security features to protect sensitive information, such as password-protected printing and user authentication protocols.

In summary, the Xerox 4219/MRP, 4220/MRP, 4215/MRP, and 4230/MRP offer a range of features suitable for different business needs, from high-volume printing to cost-effective solutions. Their advanced technologies, user-friendly interfaces, and robust performance make them reliable choices for any modern office.
