Downloading fonts to the printer from a Macintosh
The fonts resident in your printer are stored as outlines and are always
available for printing. The PostScript interpreter in the printer can also
accept and store additional fonts known as downloadable fonts. If you want
to print PostScript outline fonts that are not built into the printer, you can
transfer or download outline fonts from your computer to the printer.
Downloading fonts saves print time if you plan to print several documents
or a large document using those fonts.
When you download a font, it is stored in the printer’s memory. You can
download as many outline fonts as the printer’s memory allows.
