Resident typefaces (PCL5)
For monochrome PCL5 (Printer Command Language) printing (HP LaserJet
III emulation), the printer supports Courier, Times, and Univers typefaces in
the following styles and stroke weights: medium, bold, italic medium, and
bold italic.
Downloading fonts
The fonts resident in the printer are stored in the printer 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. Adding
more memory expands the number of fonts that can be downloaded to the
printer.
The printer accepts Type 1 and Type 3 downloadable fonts including those
from Adobe, AGFA, Bitstream, Microsoft, Apple, and many others.
The printer also accepts TrueType downloadable fonts which can be scaled
to any point size. TrueType fonts look the same on the screen as they do
when printed.
You download a font from a PC or Macintosh the same way you download
fonts to any PostScript printer. Follow the documentation that was shipped
with your fonts.
