Copying or Moving Fonts to a New Printer Port
You can use the Font Installer to move or copy fonts you
installed on one port to different ports. This is useful if
you are using more than one PCL printer or if you
connect your printer to another port.
Follow these instructions to move or copy fonts to a new
port:
1.
In the Font Installer, click the Copy Fonts to New
Port button.
2.
In the Copy Fonts to New Port dialog box, select the
new port and click OK.
The fonts currently installed on the selected port are
listed on the right side of the Font Installer. You can
copy or move fonts from either port to the other.
3.
Select one or more fonts in a list. When you select a
font, an arrow appears between the two list boxes
indicating the direction of the move or copy.
4.
Click on the Move or Copy button. The selected
fonts are moved to the port shown in the other box.
5.
Once you have moved or copied a font to a new
port, you can specify permanent or temporary
downloading options for that font on the new port.
6.
When you are finished, click the End Copy Fonts to
New Port button.
Deleting Fonts
If you no longer use a font, you can delete it from your
Printer Setup and/or from your hard disk, as well. This
can free additional space on your printer RAM or hard
drive.
Follow these instructions to delete a font:
1.
In the Font Installer, select the font(s) you want to
delete from the list box on the left.
2.
Click Delete.
3. In the Remove Fonts dialog box that appears, select
from the following options.
Click No to remove the font(s) from the printer
memory but not remove them from your hard disk.
When you choose No, the font name no longer
appears anywhere in Windows, but the font file
remains on your hard disk for future use.
Click Yes to delete the font(s) from both the Printer
Setup and your hard drive. Unless you plan to use
them later, you should remove unused font files and
free the space on your hard drive.
Editing Font Names and Attributes
After you install a font, make sure it does not have the
same name and point size as another font you are using.
Even if the names and sizes are the same, the font
metrics for two fonts can differ and may print
differently. You can edit the name or other attributes of a
soft font that you installed using the Font Installer.
Follow these steps to edit a font name or attribute.
1. In the Font Installer, select the font you want to edit
in the list of installed fonts.
2. Click Edit to display the Edit dialog box.
3. In the Edit dialog box, type a new name for the
selected font in the Name box, or select other
attributes by clicking the associated buttons. The list
below describes the options in the Edit dialog box.
4. When you are finished, click OK to return to the
Font Installer.
Caution!
Unless you are experienced at working
with fonts, do not change any Font ID or Family
settings that the printer driver automatically enters.
