The fonts resident in the printer are stored in the printer 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 or on a SCSI hard disk attached to the printer. Refer to the Phaser 350 On-line Reference Guide for more information on using an external SCSI disk for font storage. You can download as many outline fonts as the printer's memory or hard disk allow. Adding more printer memory expands the number of fonts that can be downloaded to the printer.
The printer accepts Type 1 and Type 3 downloadable fonts including those from Adobe, Agfa, Bitstream, Microsoft, Apple, and many others.
The printer also accepts TrueType downloadable fonts which can be scaled to any point size. TrueType fonts look the same on the screen as they do when printed.
You download a font from a PC or Macintosh the same way you download fonts to any PostScript printer. Follow the documentation that was shipped with your fonts.
