Fonts

This chapter describes the types of fonts you can use with the printer, including the printer's
resident fonts, and symbol sets.

3.1. Resident Fonts

A font is a set of characters of a particular design. The design is referred to as a typeface. Several
characteristics identify a font. These include the font type (bitmap, scalable, or KPDL), symbol set,
spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.

The printer provides three types of resident fonts: bitmap fonts, scalable (outline) fonts, and KPDL
fonts. Also, fonts may be downloaded to the printer's memory from a memory card or disk. These
fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. The printer accepts as many downloadable
fonts as its user available memory permits.
