At one time, computers used bitmapped fonts only. One set of 
bitmapped fonts was needed to display characters on a 
terminal screen, and another set was needed for printing. 
These were called
 
 screen fonts
 
 and 
 
printer fonts
 
respectively. 
Today, software applications use many scalable fonts because 
they can be used for both screen and printer. 
 
Screen fonts
 
 are always stored on the host computer, not the 
printer.
 
Printer fonts
 
 may reside in three places:
 
Printer ROM
 
 holds 
 
resident
 
 fonts, installed at the factory 
on memory chips on the printer controller board. See 
 
“Fonts Resident on the Printer” (page 4-4)
 
 for a complete 
list.
 
font
 
 
 
card
 
 inserted into the printer holds additional PCL 
fonts. The 4520/4520mp printers provide two slots for font 
cards. See 
 
Chapter 1: Introduction
 
 (page 1-3) for font card 
location.
 
Software applications
 
 contain additional fonts that may 
be 
 
downloaded
 
 to printer memory or the hard disk, in 
some cases, for the entire time the printer is turned on. 
See 
 
“Downloading Fonts” (page 4-12)
 
 for more 
information.
