Managing printer fonts
The Fiery EX2101 includes 81 built-in PCL fonts and 136 PostScript fonts; for a
complete list, see Appendix B. In addition, two Adobe Multiple Master fonts are
included and used for font substitution in PDF files.
Before downloading a file that uses fonts not resident on the Fiery EX2101, you must
download the fonts (unless the fonts are embedded in the file). To see what fonts are
resident on the Fiery EX2101, choose Font List from the File menu or click the Font
List button (see page 4-12).
You can download fonts only via the Direct connection. If you do not have access to
the Direct connection, you must embed any special fonts used by the file when you
generate it.
The screen fonts that correspond to the printer fonts installed on the Fiery EX2101 are
not automatically installed on your Windows system.
NOTE: Fiery Downloader cannot download TrueType fonts. If you use TrueType fonts
in Windows, convert them to Adobe Type 1 before printing. To convert to Adobe
Type 1 fonts for Windows 98/Me, click the Fonts tab in the Adobe PS printer driver
and setup the Font Substitution Table. For Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003, click the
Postscript tab of the Fiery EX2101 Document defaults dialog box and selectTrueType
Font Setting >Download as Softfont.
NOTE: You can change font settings in the printer driver to suit your printing needs.
For more information, see the printer driver Help menu.
Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts
Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the Fiery EX2101 come in two forms:
printer fonts and screen fonts. Install the screen fonts included with the Fiery EX2101
user software on your Mac OS computer. If you are using these fonts in documents
you print on a LaserWriter, they are probably already installed. If not, you must install
them. For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.
