Caution:
Some fonts downloaded on your printer’s hard disk are
copy-protected. Therefore, when you upgrade the system upgrade
(release 2.0 or later firmware) on your QMS 1060 Print System, these
fonts must be re-downloaded in order for the printer to recognize
them. See your font documentation for downloading instructions.
