Characters printed in scalable fonts are always proportionally spaced - that is, the spacing between characters on a line depends on their shapes. To add to the number of fonts available, you can buy scalable typeface cartridges/cards which you can insert into the printer's cartridge/card slots and scalable typeface disks from which you can copy the typefaces into the printer's memory. You can also create your own downloadable scalable typefaces, using software commands. 5.1.4. Bound fonts Bound fonts are fonts which have only a single symbol set. 5.1.5. Unbound fonts Unbound fonts are fonts which have a large amount of symbols selected from a complementary symbol index (intellifont) or unicode symbol index (TrueType). 5.1.6. Font sources Depending on your printer model, fonts available to the printer can be in one of three places, either in the printer's ROM as supplied from the factory, on a cartridge/card, on the storage device, or in the printer's RAM. RAM fonts are downloaded from a personal computer. 5.1.7. Internal fonts The printer comes with some bitmap fonts contained in its ROM and many scalable typefaces which can be used to create scalable fonts. 5.1.8. Card/cartridge fonts You can buy cartridge/card -based bitmap fonts and scalable typefaces. Plug the cartridge/card into one of the printer's cartridge/card slots and then select any font from them as if it were in the printer's ROM. Depending on your model, you can also save bitmap fonts and scalable typeface in the flash ROM memory, installed optional storage device and you can use any of these as if they were a font card. 5.1.9. Downloadable fonts You can buy diskettes containing fonts which can be copied directly to the printer using the DOS COPY command. You can also design your own fonts and download them to the printer. One disadvantage of downloaded fonts is that they reside in the printer's RAM memory. The printer also uses this memory for composing the text and graphic output that it prints on the page. If the memory contains too many fonts the printer may run out of memory. Since downloaded fonts are stored in the printer's RAM they are lost when the printer is switched off, and you must download them again before you can use them. CHAPTER 2 PCL - 49
