check the download font ID on the list before you enter this menu. You
need to select the font in this menu with the same number you see on the

The download font IDs do not appear when fonts have not been
downloaded.
After you select the download font ID, press the SET switch, so that the
printer saves the selected download font. Vector or bitmapped fonts are
saved in the format of the original font.
Once you save the download font in the card, you do not need to download
the font every time you need it.
Since the flash memory card or the HDD card is in the upper card slot A of
the printer, 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 fonts saved on the card by printing the list of fonts with
the TEST switch. See TEST Switch” in Chapter 4.
Note
When the fonts on the HDD card are selected in a print job, they are copied
into the printer RAM. It may tend to cause the printer memory full error
because those fonts occupy some RAM space. It is recommended to install
optional SIMM to use the downloaded fonts on the HDD card.
