The Printer is Silent radio button disables bidirectional

communication between your computer and printer; any

messages from your printer are ignored. If Printer is Silent is

selected, you cannot get printer information or font lists.

Managing

fonts

The EpsonScript Utility allows you to list the fonts currently

stored at the printer, download fonts from your computer to

the printer, and remove downloaded fonts.

Displaying a list of printer fonts

To display a list of resident and downloaded fonts available on

your printer, bring up the EpsonScript Utility and select your

printer using PostScript Printers and AppleTalk Zones. Then

click the List Fonts button.

Downloading fonts

The Download button downloads fonts from your computer

to the selected printer. Fonts downloaded in this way remain in

printer memory until you turn off the printer or reset it.

If your document requires non-resident fonts, they are

downloaded automatically. Using EpsonScript to download

fonts can reduce the time it takes to print, because fonts you

explicitly download are handled in the same way as resident

fonts. They remain in printer memory until you turn off or

reset the printer, or remove them (see “Removing downloaded

fonts”).

Note:

Downloading an excessive number of fonts can take away from the

amount of printer RAM available to describe a printed page.
