Downloading Fonts

To supplement the resident fonts (which are always available for printing), downloadable fonts can be sent from your computer and stored in the printer’s RAM, optional flash memory, or on the printer’s optional hard drive.

Note

If you turn the printer off, the fonts you download to RAM are deleted. You must download them again when you turn the printer on.

Before printing, verify that the fonts specified in your document are installed in the printer or are set up to download correctly. If your document has a font not currently in your printer, or downloaded with your print job, a different font will be used.
