Using a PostScript Job to Download Fonts
You can download PostScript fonts from a remote system to TotalFlow Print Server using a PostScript font
job. Font jobs are different from print jobs because the printer does not produce printed output for font
jobs, even if the job attempts to generate printed output. You do not have to restart TotalFlow Print Server
when you use the font after downloading a font job.
Use one of the following communication methods to download fonts using a PostScript job:
• AppleTalk
• FTP
• Hot folders
• LPR
• Raw port
• Font download Web page
You must install FTP and LPR and enable the appropriate protocols before you can use them to
download font jobs. See
Working with Network Services Printer Protocols, p. 74
for more information.
• To download a font job using FTP:
1. Make an FTP connection from the system where the font job is to the system where TotalFlow Print
Server is installed.
For example,
ftp myprintserver
.
2. Do one of these:
• If TotalFlow Print Server does not require authentication to submit a job, press [[EEnntteerr]] to log in
as the default user.
• Otherwise, enter your user name and password.
3. Set the FTP connection to binary mode using the
binary
or
bin
command.
4. Change the directory on the TotalFlow Print Server system to the
/fonts
directory by entering
cd
/fonts
.
5. Send the font job to TotalFlow Print Server.
For example, the command
put myfonts.ps
would send the file
myfonts.ps
to the
/fonts
directory on the TotalFlow Print Server system.
6. Enter the
bye
command to end the FTP connection.
• To download a font job using a hot folder, LPR, AppleTalk, or the raw port protocol:
1. Configure a virtual printer to receive font jobs. Set [[PPrroocceessssiinng
g m
mood
dee]] to [[U
Unniid
diirreeccttiioonna
all FFo
onnttss]]
or [[B
Biid
diirreeccttiioonna
all FFoonnttss]].
You must use AppleTalk or raw port to download bidirectional fonts.
Printing or ripping cannot occur while the AppleTalk protocol is enabled on the virtual printer that
is configured for bidirectional font download. Also, the AppleTalk protocol is not enabled until the
processing of print jobs and RIP jobs is complete.
