Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts. Contact the place where you

bought your printer for more information about downloadable fonts.

Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of the characters in the

font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a bitmap of the characters at the point size you

choose and saves it temporarily in printer memory.

These temporary bitmapped fonts are deleted when you turn off or reset the printer. Scalable fonts provide the flexibility of

printing in many different point sizes.

Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading fonts to the printer. PCL 6 uses Intellifont and TrueType

scalable fonts. There are thousands of different scalable fonts available in these different font formats from numerous font

suppliers.

If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts or if you plan to use many different sizes of scalable fonts,

you may need to purchase additional memory for your printer.

Resident Fonts

Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in printer memory. Different fonts are available in different

printer languadges. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and TimesNew, are available for all printer languages.

The following table lists all the fonts resident in your printer. See "

Printing a Font Sample List

" for instructions on how to print

samples of the fonts. You can select the resident fonts from your software program or from the operator panel.
