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 font type (bit map or scalable), symbol set, spacing,
pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.
The printer provides two types of fonts: bitmap fonts and scalable (outline) fonts. Also, fonts may be
downloaded to the printer’s memory. These fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. The
printer accepts as many downloadable fonts as its user available memory permits.
Scalable fonts provide the outline of the characters. This outline is scaled according to the scaling
information from the computer and filled in for printing. Depending on the capabilities of the software
you use, the scalable fonts can be scaled from 0.25 point to 999.75 points in quarter point increments.
