Handling TrueType fonts

By default, EpsonScript converts TrueType fonts to be

compatible with Adobe® Type 1 fonts before printing them.

If you wish, you can specify that EpsonScript print TrueType

fonts as TrueType.

Because EpsonScript is designed to print PostScript-compatible

fonts such as Type 1, you should normally not change the

default setting.

Specifying which fonts to download

The Include Fonts option specifies which types of fonts need to

be downloaded when printing. The options are All But

PPD/Installed (default), None, All, All But Standard 13, All But

Standard 35, and AU But Resident.

Normally when using EpsonScript with an ActionLaser 1600,

you should not change the default setting of All But

PPD/Installed. This ensures that all fonts required by your

document are downloaded except those already in the PPD list.

If you are using EpsonScript to print to a printer that is able to

communicate with the Macintosh, you might choose All But

Resident. In this case, the Macintosh interrogates the printer to

determine which fonts are already downloaded. Only fonts not

already in printer memory are downloaded.
