Device-dependent features
The PostScript language, although designed to be inherently
device-independent, has provisions for some physical features
that are not common across products. Your printer has
PostScript language features and capabilities that might not be
present in other PostScript output devices. Some of these
features are described in the following pages.
Fonts available with the PostScript Language mode
A total of 65 fonts are included. The printer has 35 internal
Adobe standard typefaces. ISO Latin1 Encoding and Standard
Encoding are supported. The Adobe Type Manager pack
supplied with the printer provides an additional 30 fonts. These
fonts may be downloaded to Random Access Memory (RAM),
the programmable font module, or hard disk, if they are present
