The software you use to enter and format your documents sends codes that run (or 'drive") your printer. These software codes select the font, margins, page size, line spacing, and other features of the document you are printing. Therefore, it is important that you choose the right printer driver and install it correctly from your software package. If there is a problem with the appearance of your document, a software setting could be the cause. Fonts with Windows Microsoft Windows standard drivers use scalable TrueType fonts rather than the fonts built into the printer. Windows fonts look the same on the screen as they do in your printed document, (This feature is called WYSIWYG, What You See Is What You Get.) All programs that run under Windows can use the Windows printer driver to print their files. Therefore, you have access to the full range of TrueType fonts if you use one of the Windows drivers listed above. If you want to use the printer's internal fonts as well as the TrueType fonts, contact Microsoft Windows Product Support and ask for a driver that uses both kinds of fonts.

What is a Printer Driver?
The software you use to enter and format your documents
sends codes that run (or ‘drive”) your printer. These software
codes select the font, margins, page size, line spacing, and
other features of the document you are printing. Therefore, it is
important that you choose the right printer driver and install it
correctly from your software package. If there is a problem
with the appearance of your document, a software setting
could be the cause.
Fonts with Windows
Microsoft Windows standard drivers use scalable TrueType
fonts rather than the fonts built into the printer. Windows fonts
look the same on the screen as they do in your printed
document, (This feature is called WYSIWYG, What You See Is
What You Get.) All programs that run under Windows can use
the Windows printer driver to print their files. Therefore, you
have access to the full range of TrueType fonts if you use one
of the Windows drivers listed above.
If you want to use the printer’s internal fonts as well as the
TrueType fonts, contact Microsoft Windows Product
Support
and ask for a driver that uses both kinds of fonts.
