Using fonts

There are two sources for the fonts you use in your documents:

internal and downloaded. In addition to the internal fonts built

into your printer, many programs can send their own fonts to

the printer in the same way they send your documents. For

instance, Lotus 1-2-3 creates and sends the fonts that it uses to
print spreadsheets.

Whether you use internal fonts or fonts downloaded from

software, you will most likely need to select your fonts through

your software.

Fonts

and the control panel

Your software sends font

commands along with the document

to the printer. If these font commandsare different from what

you selected on the printer’s control panel, the software

commands always override control panel settings. For this

reason, you need to make your font selections through
software.

Use the control panel for font selection only when you are

sending unformatted text to the printer directly from MS-DOS
or when you are using a simple software package that does not

include font selections.
