USING THE FONT DOWNLOADER

Follow these steps to check the availability of the printer you are
using:

1. Select Printer Status from the Special menu in the Font

Downloader.

The Printer Status dialog box reports the printer status.
“Idle” indicates that the printer is available to print or accept
a new font.  “Busy,” “Printing,” or “Initializing” indicates that
the printer is processing a job.

2. Click [OK] when you are done.

The font cache in the RAM stores the rasterized sizes.  This
feature enables your document to be printed faster because it
does not need to recreate rasterized fonts.  If too many fonts are
downloaded and the font cache becomes full, the older, least-
used rasterized fonts are removed automatically.

Not enough space for the font cache affects your printer
performance.  Your document may take an unusually long time
to print.  To improve your printer performance, use the Clear
Font Cache command from the Special menu.  Clearing the font
cache deletes all instances of previously cached fonts.  This
results in the need to cache the font again, and invokes a printer
restart.

The following PostScript programs can be downloaded to the
printer:

•

A custom application or file

•

A file that clears the programmable font module.

You can use the Font Downloader application to download the
following to the interpreter for processing and printing:

•

A custom application

•

A file written in the PostScript language that contains
PostScript language fonts

You must download the outline fonts manually before you
download the PostScript language file.  The PostScript language
file is saved as a text-only file before it is printed.

Follow these steps to clear (erase) the programmable font
module in the printer: 

1. Open the Font Downloader application.

2. Select Download PostScript File from the File menu.
