3.1.
Internal Fonts
A font is a set of characters of a particular design. The design is referred to as a
typeface
.
Several characteristics identify a font. These include the code set (For details on the code
sets, please read the
Programming Manual
on the supplied CD-ROM.), spacing, pitch,
height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.
The printer has 80 PCL/PS compatible fonts and a bitmap font for a line printer loaded into
it. Also fonts may be downloaded to the printer's memory from a memory card or disk. These
fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. The printer accepts as many download-
able fonts as its user available memory permits.
