Types of Fonts
Your printer uses the following types of fonts:
■ Resident fonts
■ Fonts downloaded into printer RAM, hard drive, or flash memory
■ Fonts downloaded with your print job from the application
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) software enables your computer to display these fonts on your
computer screen as they will appear in your prints.
If you do not have ATM on your computer:
1. Install it from the Software and Documentation CD-ROM.
2. Install the printer’s screen fonts for your computer from the ATM folder.
Downloading Fonts
To supplement the resident fonts (which are always available for printing), you can download
fonts from your computer to the printer’s memory or to the printer’s hard drive or flash
memory. Downloading fonts to a printer can improve printing performance and reduce
network traffic.
You can list, print, and download PostScript, PCL, and TrueType fonts to your printer using
the CentreWare Font Management Utility. This utility helps you manage fonts, macros, and
forms on a printer’s hard drive.
To download and install the Font Management Utility on Windows operating systems:
1. Go to www.xerox.com/office/5550drivers .
2. Select your operating system.
3. Locate the CentreWare Font Management Utility option, and do one of the following:
■ Windows: Save the .exe file to your computer.
■ Macintosh: Select Start to download the .hqx file.
4. Install the font manager.
Note: If you turn off the printer, the fonts you download to memory are deleted. You must
download them again when you turn on the printer. Fonts downloaded to the hard drive are not
deleted when you turn off the printer.
