Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as
downloadable fonts.
Scalable
fonts (also called
outline
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 print 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 5/PCL 6 uses Intellifont and TrueType scalable fonts. There are
thousands of different scalable fonts 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.
