Chapter 4 Downloading TrueType Fonts
NOTE: A “?” will be added in front of the selected file name to indicate that
the file has been deleted. The deleted file name will not be removed
from the “View File List” and “Delete File List” until the user selects
Optimize & Reboot.
Printronix Windows Driver
A TrueType font can be downloaded from a PC through the Printronix
Windows Driver.
1. Load the Printronix Windows driver provided with your printer on the
Manuals and Utilities CD on Windows 2000/NT/XP/Server 2003/Vista.
2. Once the printer driver is installed on the PC, right-click the printer driver
and select
Properties .
3. Click the TT Font Download tab to access all the available system
TrueType fonts.
4. Select the TrueType font(s) from the Available System TrueType Fonts
pane you want to download.
5. Click the Download button to download font(s) to the printer while it is
online.
PGL Emulation (Online)
A TrueType font can be downloaded by creating a file that appends a PGL
command to the font and then sending that file to the printer. Use the PGL
FONTLOAD command:
~FONTLOAD;FontName;FontSize;DISK
where
FontName - TrueType font name, e.g. arial.ttf
FontSize - TrueType font size, e.g. file size for arial.ttf
DISK - Specify the download location to Flash
For example:
~FONTLOAD;arial.ttf;60548;DISK
Insert binary data of arial.ttf here...
END
After the file is created, it can be copied to the appropriate I/O port of the
printer while the printer is online, just like any other print file (for example:
copy/b filename.ext 1pt1).
