HP (Hewlett-Packard) 9800 Series Printer User Manual


 
Printing TrueType® Fonts
TrueType® fonts are available on the 9850 printer. TrueType fonts
are scalable and the characters print smoothly, without the jagged
edges you see on bitmap fonts. When downloading a TrueType
font, you download the entire font. You cannot specify a subset
(particular characters or point size) of the font.
These font files may be very large and image
slower than bitmap fonts. The size of the font
file, in bytes, is the minimum amount of
memory you must have available for fonts in
the printer’s memory.
Your System Administrator may need to reconfigure the printer’s
memory to use downloaded TrueType fonts. Refer to the optional
Packet Reference Manual (available on our Web site) to learn
how to reconfigure the printer’s memory. After reconfiguring
memory, resend the font, format, and batch packets.
The 9850 printer can accept a TrueType font file that has been
converted to Hex or Run-Length encoding using the version of
Font Utility. Font Utility is available on our Web site
(www.monarch.com). Font Utility is a part of the Monarch MPCL
Toolbox Utilities. You can also use a wide variety of Code Pages
with International (Turkish, Latin, Spanish, etc.) characters. Using
TrueType fonts allows you a greater range of fonts for your
formats. TrueType fonts are designed to be regionally specific;
therefore, all Code Pages may not be supported in a given font.
Check with your System Administrator if you need to use
TrueType fonts.
