Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts. Contact the place where you bought your printer for more information about downloadable fonts. Scalable fonts are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of the characters in the font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a bitmap of the characters at the point size you choose and saves it temporarily in printer memory. These temporary bitmapped fonts are deleted when you turn off or reset the printer. Scalable fonts provide the flexibility of printing in many different point sizes. Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading fonts to the printer. PCL 6 emulation uses Intellifont and TrueType scalable fonts. PostScript 3 emulation uses Type 1 and TrueType scalable fonts. Thousands of different scalable fonts are available in these different font formats from numerous font suppliers. If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts, or if you plan to use many different sizes of scalable fonts, you may need to purchase additional memory for your printer. Resident fonts Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in printer memory. Different fonts are available in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and Times New Roman, are available for all printer languages. 188
