System Guide | Fonts |
If you expect to create a document using fonts that are available on your workstation but not available at the DocuSP controller, your application may automatically download the font when the job is sent to the printer. Fonts downloaded in this manner are considered "temporary" and are deleted from the DocuSP controller as soon as the job is printed.
NOTE: Refer to your application documentation for more information on downloading fonts in your document.
If you are using a font in your application that has the same name as a resident font but is a different version, it must be downloaded with the job. The DocuSP controller will use the downloaded font rather than the resident font.
NOTE: Marking a font for "permanent" downloading in your application is not supported.
•Optional or soft fonts
Downloading fonts each time you print will increase the size of the file and result in a longer transmission time. If your print jobs regularly require a font that is not a resident font, you may request to have it installed as an optional font at the DocuSP controller. Your printing organization's font policy should give you the specific information you need to request a special font.
Font substitution
A document may require a font that is not available at the DocuSP controller and has not been downloaded with the source file. When the requested font is not available, font substitution will take place.
PostScript fonts
A single default font, set by the System Administrator in the DocuSP software, will be substituted for any font requirements that cannot be met at the DocuSP controller. A message will be printed to confirm that a substitution has taken place.
