Adding Support for Fonts to an Optional
Printer Hard Disk or Flash DIMM
When using 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 Your Computer
For Microsoft Windows, install fonts through the HP FontSmart utility
or the Windows control panel. When the fonts are installed, the printer
driver will recognize the fonts and list them in your applications. If the
fonts are listed in the software’s menus, then you can install the fonts on
your system through HP FontSmart utility.
For Mac OS, install fonts through the HP LaserJet Utility. When the
fonts are installed, the printer driver will recognize the fonts and list
them in your applications.
For MS-DOS
®
applications, request a printer driver for the new fonts
from the software vendor. Some printer drivers for HP font products are
also available from HP’s Distribution Center (U.S. only) or a local
authorized HP dealer. For information on authorized HP dealers, see
“Worldwide HP Sales and Service Offices” in appendix E.
Install Fonts to Printer Hard Disk or Flash
DIMM
Install fonts to the printer hard disk or flash DIMM using:
•
HP FontSmart utility
•
The
Fonts
tab of the PCL printer driver
•
The
Fonts
tab of the PS 3.1 printer driver (Microsoft Windows 3.1
only)
•
HP LaserJet Utility for Mac OS
•
Other font downloading utilities
Note
Although the software might list a new font in its menus, the font might
not be installed in the printer. The printer driver downloads fonts to the
printer’s RAM as needed for each print job, but when the printer is
turned off, the fonts are erased from the printer’s RAM. For more
information on installing the font onto the printer hard disk or flash
DIMM, see the online help that came with the font.
