Supplies

Tapes

The optional 4 mm cartridge tape drive uses 5 GB or 8 GB tapes.

The 1/4-inch QIC tape drive uses quarter-inch stream cartridge tapes. The tape data capacity should be 320/525 MB. Tape density is critical. The QIC drive can read low density tapes, but to write reliably requires tape with 21,000 Flux Transitions Per Inch (FTPI). The FTPI figure is usually listed on the cartridge.

Fonts

Data can be printed on DocuPrint printers in many sizes and type styles called fonts. A font is a character set which has unique characteristics, such as type style, size, weight, orientation (portrait, landscape, inverse portrait, and inverse landscape), character spacing (fixed and proportional), line spacing, and postures (Roman, italic, and so forth).

There are three classifications of fonts:

•Standard fonts

•Licensed fonts

•Custom fonts.

Standard fonts A library of 51 fonts is provided with your printer’s operating system software.

Licensed fonts Additional fonts may be ordered from your local Xerox Font Center.

Custom fonts Custom fonts and graphic images such as company logos and signatures can be digitized by the Xerox Font Center for use on your printer.

Receiving fonts Fonts are received on a diskette from your local Xerox Font Center.
