Adding and Selecting Fonts
To select a font, use your application program.
Font problems are uncommon but the following may occur.
❏
The printer substitutes a font other than the one you selected
with your software.
❏
The printed page does not exactly match what is on screen.
These kinds of problems usually occur if you use an emulation
other than LJ4 or when you are trying to print fonts that are not
installed in the printer. If you have font problems, read “Printer
and Screen Fonts” below to find out how to fix them.
Adding more fonts
Fonts that reside on your computer’s hard disk can be
downloaded, or transferred, to the printer so they can be printed.
Downloaded fonts, also called soft fonts, remain in printer
memory until you turn off the printer or otherwise reinitialize it.
If you plan on downloading many fonts, make sure your printer
has sufficient memory.
Downloading fonts
Most font packages make it easy to install fonts by providing their
own installer. The installer gives you the option of having the
fonts automatically downloaded whenever you start your
computer or having fonts downloaded only when you need to
print a particular font.
If you’re running Windows, you can also install fonts from within
the Fonts window. (To access this window, open the Control
Panel and click the
Fonts
icon.) Once installed, the fonts are
available in all your Windows applications.
