ENWW 7 Using color and fonts 161
Because PS fonts require software-program support, consult the software documentation
for information about using PostScript fonts.
In a print job, you cannot use the PostScript fonts in combination with the PCL fonts that
reside in the MFP or with other fonts that are supported by PCL. Personality switching
enables you to use either the PostScript or PCL supported fonts, but not both
simultaneously.
Using fonts on a network
If the MFP is connected to a network, be sure to check with your system administrator
before performing any of the following actions:
● changing the default font at the MFP control panel
● downloading or removing soft fonts and typefaces
● turning the MFP off, which removes soft fonts (fonts that have been downloaded to the
MFP RAM)
Follow these guidelines to conserve MFP memory and help to avoid unexpected MFP
output. Your network operating system might automatically protect each user’s print job
from the effects of other print jobs in the system. Check with your system administrator.
To optimize the performance of the printing environment when using different fonts and
typefaces, consider the following options:
● Encourage the use of the MFP’s extensive internal scalable font selections. PCL and
TrueType fonts are available in PCL mode, and PostScript fonts are available in PS
mode.
● Purchase additional memory from a local authorized HP dealer.
Adding support for fonts to a printer hard disk or Flash
Memory card
When using that are fonts stored on the printer hard disk or Flash Memory card, the printer
driver must contain information about the size, shape, and style of these fonts so that it
can format the text correctly. Therefore, fonts must be installed on both your computer and
the printer hard disk or Flash Memory card before they can be used.
Installing fonts on a computer
● For Microsoft Windows, install fonts by using the options on the printer-driver Fonts
tab.
● For the Mac OS 8.6 to 9.X, use the HP LaserJet Utility to install fonts.
When the fonts are installed, the printer driver recognizes the fonts and lists them in your
programs.
Installing fonts to printer hard disk or Flash Memory card
Install fonts to the printer hard disk or Flash Memory card by using one of the following:
● the printer-driver Fonts tab (Windows only)
● HP LaserJet Utility for Mac OS 8.6 to 9X
● other font-downloading utilities
