Using PostScript fonts The printer contains 35 scalable PostScript (PS) fonts drawn from 11 font families, all of which are licensed by Adobe. More than 650 additional fonts that are compatible with the printer are available from the Adobe Type Library. These fonts can be purchased and used in the printer. A full set of Adobe PostScript 3 emulation fonts is available on the Adobe font DIMM. The Adobe font DIMM is an optional accessory for the printer. Because PS fonts require software-application support, consult the software documentation for information about using PostScript fonts. In a print job, you cannot use the PostScript fonts in combination with the PCL fonts that reside in the printer or with other fonts that are supported by PCL. Personality switching enables you to use either the PostScript or PCL supported fonts, but not both simultaneously. Using fonts on a network If the printer is connected to a network, be sure to check with your system administrator before performing any of the following actions: q changing the default font at the printer control panel q downloading or removing soft fonts and typefaces q turning the printer off, which removes soft fonts (fonts that have been downloaded to the printer RAM) Follow these guidelines to conserve printer memory and help to avoid unexpected printer output. Your network operating system might automatically protect each user's print job from the effects of other print jobs in the system. Check with your system administrator. To optimize the performance of the printing environment when using different fonts and typefaces, consider the following options: q Encourage the use of the printer's extensive internal scalable font selections. PCL and TrueType fonts are available in PCL mode, and PostScript fonts are available in PS mode. q Purchase additional memory from a local authorized HP dealer. Adding support for fonts to an optional printer hard disk or flash DIMM When using that are fonts stored on the printer hard disk or flash DIMM, the printer driver must contain information about the size, shape, and style of these fonts so that it can format the text correctly. Therefore, fonts must be installed on both your computer and the printer hard disk or flash DIMM before they can be used. Installing fonts on a computer q For Microsoft Windows, install fonts by using the options on the Fonts tab of the printer driver. q For the Mac OS, use the HP LaserJet Utility to install fonts. When the fonts are installed, the printer driver recognizes the fonts and lists them in your applications. 5 Using color and fonts 163
