7 Working with Captured Fonts 7.1 Capture Font and Remove Font Capture is a function whereby downloaded fonts can be stored on disk or user flash. The flash memory and hard disk may be printer optional storage media ordered separately from the printer. Menu path: Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > FONT CAPTURE. This menu group has two items: Capture Fonts and Remove Fonts. These menu items are described in FONT CAPTURE Menu Options on page 49. A captured font is treated as if it is a printer-resident font. Unlike resident fonts, which can not be deleted, captured fonts may be deleted when storage space is required. Fonts that are resident on the printer will not be downloaded for capture by the host. Captured fonts are: • only available to the IPDS emulation. • retained in the printer across job boundaries, IPDS sessions and power cycles. • available for use by any host connected to the printer. Fonts captured to flash memory or a disk remain in the printer until: • cleared by using the Remove Fonts menu item or • overwritten with a later capture of a font with the same object ID or characteristics Fonts activated from flash or disk and in use during a session will not be cleared by Remove Fonts. Activated fonts will remain in memory until the activation is removed by the host or the session with the host is ended. When there is not enough space remaining to capture a font, a message will be displayed. Select Continue on the operator panel or touch screen to clear the message. Some printers may automatically continue after a short period of time. The job will be printed without capturing any remaining fonts. Only one such message is displayed during an IPDS session. This prevents the printer from halting each time a new font is received. 7.2 Preparing Fonts for Capture Fonts that can be captured are: eligible bitmap fonts (LF1 format), eligible outline fonts (LF3 format), and eligible TrueType fonts. TrueType fonts can only be captured to disk. The resolution of the captured font must match the IPDS emulation resolution for the font to be used by the host application. For instance, a font captured with a 300 pel resolution can not be used by the IPDS emulation when it is emulating an IBM 3812/3816 printer. The fonts used in emulating a 3812/3816 printer have a resolution of 240 pels. Important: Fonts intended for capturing must be marked eligible for capture on the host before they will be downloaded to the printer for capture. You should always check your font licensing information before making a font eligible for capture. Sensitive fonts should not be made eligible for capture.

Working with Captured Fonts

7.1

Capture Font and Remove Font

Capture is a function whereby downloaded fonts can be stored on disk or user flash. The flash memory

and hard disk may be printer optional storage media ordered separately from the printer.

Menu path:

Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU >

FONT CAPTURE.

This menu group has two items:

Capture Fonts

and

Remove Fonts.

These menu items are described in FONT CAPTURE Menu Options on page 49.

A captured font is treated as if it is a printer-resident font. Unlike resident fonts, which can not be deleted,

captured fonts may be deleted when storage space is required. Fonts that are resident on the printer will

not be downloaded for capture by the host.

Captured fonts are:

•

only available to the IPDS emulation.

•

retained in the printer across job boundaries, IPDS sessions and power cycles.

•

available for use by any host connected to the printer.

Fonts captured to flash memory or a disk remain in the printer until:

•

cleared by using the

Remove Fonts

menu item or

•

overwritten with a later capture of a font with the same object ID or characteristics

Fonts activated from flash or disk and in use during a session will not be cleared by

Remove Fonts

Activated fonts will remain in memory until the activation is removed by the host or the session with the

host is ended.

When there is not enough space remaining to capture a font, a message will be displayed. Select

Continue

on the operator panel or touch screen to clear the message. Some printers may automatically

continue after a short period of time. The job will be printed without capturing any remaining fonts. Only

one such message is displayed during an IPDS session. This prevents the printer from halting each time a

new font is received.

7.2

Preparing Fonts for Capture

Fonts that can be captured are: eligible bitmap fonts (LF1 format), eligible outline fonts (LF3 format), and

eligible TrueType fonts. TrueType fonts can only be captured to disk.

The resolution of the captured font must match the IPDS emulation resolution for the font to be used by

the host application. For instance, a font captured with a 300 pel resolution can not be used by the IPDS

emulation when it is emulating an IBM 3812/3816 printer. The fonts used in emulating a 3812/3816

printer have a resolution of 240 pels.

Important:

Fonts intended for capturing must be marked

eligible for capture

on the host before they

will be downloaded to the printer for capture. You should

always

check your font licensing information

before making a font eligible for capture. Sensitive fonts should not be made eligible for capture.

Basic information about how mark a font as eligible on the AS/400 or iSeries is on page 71. Basic

information about how to mark a fonts as eligible on a Mainframe is on page 72.
