Sessions Support
Since your printer supports sessions, it’s possible for you to combine
multiple documents into a single print job with global features that
override the individual document’s page description—even when the
individual documents are composed from different applications using
different printer description languages. Sessions allow you to print
multiple chapters as a book, a series of reports as a batch process, or
“wild card” file selections on UNIX or VMS computer systems. More
information about sessions and session commands are in appendix

Resident Fonts and Symbol Sets
Your printer comes with 12 PostScript typeface families containing 39
licensed fonts, and it provides TrueType font support (in PostScript
emulation only). All resident PostScript typeface families have multi-
lingual character sets. The printer also has 7 resident bitmap HP PCL
fonts in 25 symbol sets each, 12 resident scalable HP PCL fonts in 35
symbol sets each, 1 resident scalable HP PCL font in 5 symbol sets,
and 40 resident HP-GL symbol sets.
User Benefit—With so many resident fonts and symbol sets, there is
less need for time-consuming downloading.
