GCC 12 Instruccion De Instalación

ONTS

Fonts come in several formats. You can use PostScript (Type 1 format), TrueType

®

, and

PCL 5 fonts with your printer. 

There are 35 PostScript fonts and 15 PCL fonts in the printer’s hardware. The Elite 12
Series CD-ROM installs these fonts onto your computer when you install the rest of the
printer software.

Unless you’re certain that you will be using PCL, leave this setting at the factory default
of “PostScript Only.” This will save memory resources. If you use PostScript fonts,
TrueType fonts, or a combination of the two, the PostScript Only setting allows you to
print these fonts.

Adobe Type Manager is a software utility sold by Adobe for Type 1 format fonts. It
displays  fonts on your computer screen as closely as possible to how they’ll look when 
printed. It is also required for printing with Type1 fonts in PCL print jobs. Type 1 fonts
are available from many font vendors, including Bitstream

®

.

TrueType font control is included in Windows and the Mac OS. Like Adobe Type 
Manager, one of its functions is to display fonts as close as possible to how they’ll look
when printed. TrueType fonts are available from many font vendors, including Bitstream.

PCL 5 fonts are generally found on PC-compatible computers. They behave in a similar
fashion to TrueType fonts. PCL 5 fonts are available from a limited number of font 
vendors.

The Elite 12 Series comes with 11 high quality PostScript font families installed in the
printer’s ROM: Times, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica Narrow, Palatino, Avant
Garde, Bookman, New Century Schoolbook, Zapf Chancery, and Zapf Dingbats. These
fonts are designed by Bitstream and are similar to Adobe Type 1 fonts.
