WORKING WITH FONTS IN
W
INDOWS
Under most conditions your documents will print out well
without any adjustment to font settings in your printer
drivers. The Windows printer drivers have settings for
specifying how TrueType fonts in your document are
matched to PostScript fonts in the printer. You may want to
adjust these if your documents take a long time to print or the
quality of the font is not satisfactory. Font settings vary
slightly on the Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, and Windows
NT 4.0 printer drivers.
PostScript 3 Font Settings
Send TrueType fonts to printer according to the font
Substitution Table: Instead of downloading all
TrueType fonts to the printer, this selection substitutes
PostScript fonts resident in the printer for the TrueType
fonts used in the document according to a table you
define.
Using the Substitution Table: The substitution utility
allows you to view or edit which fonts in the printer
should be substituted for the TrueType fonts in your
document. Using resident printer fonts speeds printing.
Always use built-in printer fonts instead of TrueType
fonts: Select this and the printer substitutes its closest
matching resident fonts. This speeds printing, but the
document may not print out exactly as it appears on the
screen
Always use TrueType fonts: Downloads bitmap
TrueType fonts to the printer to print the document. This
ensures the printed document will look the same as it
does on the screen, but it may take longer to print.
The Update Soft Fonts feature updates the driver to
recognize new fonts. Use this if you have added new
fonts to your system after you installed the driver.
PCL5e Font Settings
Download TrueType fonts as outline fonts: TrueType
fonts used in your document are processed by the driver
and downloaded to the printer as outline fonts. This
provides the quickest printing time, but lowest quality
for text output.
Download TrueType fonts as bitmap fonts: TrueType
fonts used in your document are processed by the driver
and downloaded to the printer as bitmapped fonts.
Formatting is very accurate at small point sizes. Printing
is faster, but not portable if printing to a file.
Print TrueType Text as graphics: TrueType fonts used in
your document are processed by the driver and
downloaded to the printer as graphics. This produces the
best text quality, but can slow printing. This is best for
documents with several graphics and little or no
repeating text.
Install Printer Fonts: Use this to download soft fonts to
the printer.
