3.11.4 Using Printer Resident Device Fonts

Printer resident device fonts should be used whenever possible because they print faster than
TrueType fonts that Windows prints as raster graphics. Device fonts include letter quality
Courier 10 and 12cpi, lower quality but faster printing Courier 5, 6, 17, 20cpi, NLQII 10cpi and
12cpi, and lowest quality, fastest printing draft 10 and 12cpi. Draft should not be used on
passbooks.
