Installation and Setup NOTE: The AFP font collection product number has changed from 5648-113 to 5648-B45. Although Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS can still use the original CD supplied under 5648-113, IBM now ships two separate CDs under the 5648-B45 product number. The two CDs are Fonts for OS/400® (part number LK2T-9270-01) and Fonts for AIX®, OS/2®, Windows® NT, and Windows® 2000 (part number LK2T9269-01). Only the LK2T-9269-01 part number is supported by Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS. Ensure to specify the correct part number when ordering the font collection. Fonts are converted for use with IPDS jobs and stored on the printer when the fonts are loaded. Although the fonts reside on the printer, they cannot be viewed using the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server Font Manager. They can be viewed using the Manage Fonts capability on the IPS Manager. A sample job is provided to verify that the resident outline font support is properly installed on the print server. To add or remove the fonts, refer to the IPS Manager on-line help. A default resident outline font is provided for instances where the requested AFP font is not resident or the default is specifically requested. This default font cannot be changed. Enhanced font support can be enabled for host environments that expect resident outline font substitution for raster fonts. Enhanced Font Support The Enhanced Font Support feature is an extension of the printerresident outline font support in Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS. Most hosts download required raster fonts. This feature is most beneficial when using the i5/OS® (System i) host environment with resident outline fonts. The i5/OS® (OS/400®) host expects resident outline font support to include all font types and expects the printer to resolve font substitution requirements. No distinction is made between raster font and outline font requests. This feature may also be beneficial to other host environments for solving font errors. Use the following information to decide whether or not to disable the Enhanced Font Support feature: • Enabled - When Enhanced Font Support is enabled, if the host requests a raster font, Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS substitutes an equivalent resident outline font if one is available. If the host requests a font for which there is no resident outline font match or equivalent, the default resident outline font is used. • Disabled - When Enhanced Font Support is disabled, no font substitution occurs. Requests for fonts that are resident are honored. The host downloads all other fonts. The default resident outline font is used only when explicitly requested by the host. IPDS User Guide 2- 9
