Fonts
This chapter describes the types of fonts you can use with the printer, including the
printer’s resident and KPDL fonts (option), and symbol sets.
3.1. Bitmap and Scalable Fonts
A font is a set of characters of a particular design. The design is referred to as a typeface. Sev-
eral characteristics identify a font. These include the font type (bit map or scalable), symbol
set, spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.
The printer provides two types of resident fonts: bitmap fonts and scalable (outline) fonts .
Also, fonts may be downloaded to the printer’s memory from a memory card or disk. These
fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. The printer accepts as many downloadable
fonts as its user available memory permits.
