Font and Emulation Cards
Typefaces (fonts), such as the ProCollection for the HP emulations
on your printer, and printer emulations are contained on small
printer circuit boards called cards. These cards can be plugged into
your printer to provide additional functionality. For a more
complete list of available font and emulation cards, contact your
QMS vendor. Some cards may require a RAM expansion to operate
properly.
The font and emulation card slots are located on the right side of
the printer above the power switch. The printer supports up to two
cards at once. You may insert either type of card in either slot.
CAUTION: The printer must be off line (the Online/Offline indi-
cator is off) before you insert or remove cards. Press the Online/Of-
fline key once to take the printer off line. If you insert a font or
emulation card in one of the card slots without taking the printer
off line, you cannot use the printer’s resident fonts and data stored
in the printer’s memory. You can use only the fonts and emulations
contained on the font and emulation cards. To regain access to the
resident fonts and the data stored in memory, turn the printer off
and back on again.
Using Font and Emulation Cards
Use the following procedure to install a font or emulation card on
your printer. If your printer has a hard disk, you can install the font
or emulation information from the card onto your hard disk. See
“Installing an Optional Font or Emulation” later in this chapter, for
information on how to install an option on your hard disk.
1. Make sure the printer is off line (the Online/Offline indicator
should be off).
