USER’S GUIDE
4–34
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 upper card slot
A 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 “SLOTFONT A” with 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.
✒ Notes
When you save the primary or secondary font, note the following:
• The font is temporarily stored in the RAM of the printer before it is
saved on the card. If the font data exceeds the RAM capacity, a
memory full error occurs. You can clear this error with the
CONTINUE switch. As not all the font data has been stored in
RAM, you cannot save the font to the card. When the font data is
saved, the printer is reset to ensure as much capacity as possible in
RAM. If any data remains, it is printed out.
• If you have saved the font at 600-dpi resolution and change the
printer resolution to 300 dpi, the printer cannot print the saved
font.
