Downloaded fonts are sent from the print server and generally disappear after the job has finished printing.
Downloaded fonts can also be “captured” by the printer. Captured fonts automatically become new
temporary resident fonts, which improves performance on future jobs that use the same fonts. The printer
manages the captured font library, not the print server.
Font Support with PSF and Infoprint Manager: Outline, raster, SBCS and DBCS fonts are supported
by Print Services Facility and Infoprint Manager on most operating systems as download, resident, or
captured fonts. Table 9 list the font technologies supported by PSF.
