Primary Font or Secondary Font
Note
The PRIMARY FONT” and SECONDARY FONTmenus appear only
in the HP LaserJet emulation mode.
If you have selected the primary or secondary font with the FONT switch,
you can save the font on the installed flash memory card or HDD card.
When you press the SET switch at PRIMARY FONT” or
SECONDARY FONT,” the printer prompts you to select the ID of the
font.
FONT ID=#####
Select the ID with the or switch and press the SET switch again, so
that the printer saves the font with the selected ID.
Note
When you see an asterisk on the display, the ID number has been used for
another font. If you select the used ID number, the old font is erased and
replaced with the new one.
Whatever font you have selected with the FONT switch, the printer saves
the font as a bitmapped font as long as the print size is no more than 24
points, so that the printer can print it faster than when they are not saved.
It is recommended that you save the scalable font you frequently use for
faster printing.
Since the flash memory card or the HDD card is in the card slot of the
printer and fonts stored in the card behave in the same way as they would
if they were in a dedicated Font Card, you can select the saved fonts as
CARD1 FONT” or CARD2 FONTwith the FONT switch or the font
selection command from your software. For font selection, see FONT
Switch” in Chapter 4.
You can check the saved fonts by printing the list of fonts with the TEST
switch. See “TEST Switch” in Chapter 4.
