Using fonts with Windows
Before printing, you need to make sure the fonts specified in your document are installed in the printer or are set up correctly in Windows. If you request a font in an application that is not resident in the printer, or is not correctly installed in Windows, the text is printed in the Courier typeface. Or, to use fonts that are not resident in the printer, do one of the following:
- Some font packages automatically update the PostScript port entries in your WIN.INI file when you reinstall the fonts. Refer to the font package's documentation for instructions.
For more information on using fonts with Windows, request a document catalog from HAL or EuroHAL, the Tektronix automated fax systems. Refer to "Using the automated fax systems" for instructions on using these systems.
Printing a font sampler from a PC
You can print a sample of the printer's resident fonts by downloading the FONTS.PS utility file to the printer.
- Copy the files from the SAMPLERS directory on either the Phaser 300X printer's CD-ROM or the Printer Software for Windows diskette. Or, use the files directly from the CD-ROM or diskette.
- Use one of the following methods to send the FONTS.PS file to the printer:
Downloading fonts to the printer from a PC
The fonts resident in your printer are stored as outlines and are always available for printing. The PostScript interpreter in the printer can also accept and store additional fonts known as downloadable fonts. If you want to print PostScript outline fonts that are not built into the printer, you can transfer or download outline fonts from your computer to the printer. Downloading fonts saves print time if you plan to print several documents or a large document using those fonts.
When you download a font, it is stored in the printer's memory. You can download as many outline fonts as the printer's memory allows.
A font downloader is an interactive program that lets you transfer Adobe fonts and other PostScript files to the printer. Check your font package for a downloader application. Or, check the Tektronix Bulletin Board Service (BBS) for a PC font downloader; refer to "Using the Tektronix Bulletin Board Service" for instructions.
