font types are Type 1, Type 2, and Forms. In PCL, the supported font types are HP-PCL
fonts (Bitmap, Scalable) and Macros. Windows TrueType fonts can also be downloaded in
PostScript (Type 1 ASCII).
The Font Download Utility can print a list of the fonts currently loaded on the printer’s
optional hard disk and flash memory. This utility is supported on Windows 95/98/Me,
NT4.0, and Windows 2000. It can be installed from the printer’s software CD-ROM.
Note
Printer drivers have no knowledge of the fonts downloaded by the Font
Download Utility.
