Epson 1400 Reference Manual
Downloaded fonts remain in printer memory only until the
print job is completed. When the print job is completed or you
turn off the printer, downloaded fonts are flushed from
memory. Downloaded fonts, which must first be transferred
from the computer, do not print as fast as resident fonts.
If you are printing a page that consists mainly of graphics but
not a lot of TrueType text, you might want to download
TrueType as bit images as described in Chapter 2. Converting
TrueType fonts to bit images requires less printer memory and
may speed up printing. Downloading TrueType as bit images
is also useful if you want to print graphics over text so that
only a portion of the text is visible.
Monitoring the Printer Status
If you are running Windows, the printer keeps you informed of
its status in two ways:
The Ready and Error lights on the front panel come on or
flash depending on the current status. For example, the
Ready light begins to flash as data is sent from your
computer to the printer.
The EPSON Control Panel for Windows automatically
presents screens to keep you informed of the printer status
or notify you of an error. For example, each time the paper
tray is empty, a screen automatically appears to inform you
of the change in status.
Note:
If you are running the EPSON Control Panel for DOS, the Reporter
provides onscreen status and error messages to keep you informed
of
the
printer status.
