FONT SUPPORT AND SELECTION

Global Font Identifiers (GFIDs)

To provide automatic font selection within your Xerox MRP Family coax printer, Xerox fonts correlate to IBM font parameters. This correlation considers the IBM method of selecting fonts using Global Font Identifiers (GFIDs) as follows:

·Data Processing (DP) mode

·Word Processing (WP) mode.

The DP mode selects font through the printer file font parameter.

The WP mode selects font through type style.

GFIDs are numbers that reference fonts in the IBM data stream.

A Xerox font may be identified by an associated GFID.

A GFID defines the typestyle, font type, and the pitch but not the orientation. For example, GFID 0011 refers to a Courier 10 pitch font in both portrait and landscape orientations. The font orientation on the printed page is taken from the orientation selected through the emulation commands sent from the host computer system unless automatic orientation is enabled.

GFID cross reference is automatically modified each time a font is downloaded.

All the font names correspond to GFID and both orientations, landscape and portrait, are included in the font. If you do not load all the fonts, refer to the ªIBM GFID to PCL fonts attributeº appendix.

GFID to PCL font mapping

The default GFID to PCL font mapping is not active when the Xerox 3812/3816 compatibility fonts are used. The character and line spacing of the compatibility fonts are designed to match the equivalent IBM GFID font. The fixed GFID interval ranges from 1 to 399 and is divided into groups with different pitch. Refer to Table 4-2. GFIDs from 400 and up are typographical fonts. If the printer resident PCL fonts are used in lieu of the Xerox 3812/3816 compatibility fonts, character and line spacing is controlled by the interface, not the font.

Proportional spaced (PS) fonts are fixed spaced fonts. The spacing is controlled by the interface, and not the font.

Print density to GFID mapping

A pitch to GFID mapping occurs if the SCS Set Print Density (SPD) command specifies the pitch parameter. Since the 3812 emulates a 5219 printer, the pitch to GFID mapping is implemented according to the mapping shown in Table 4-3.

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.
