Imaging
System fonts are the primary fonts used by the operating system. They are
typically accessed through an application interface or through a common font
dialog box.
Device fonts are stored either permanently or temporarily in the printing
system memory.
Font Settings
The Font Settings dialog box lets you specify how TrueType fonts are sent to
the printing system. The chosen method affects the speed and quality of the
print job:
Download as outlines
This method is best suited for large documents or print jobs using multiple
fonts and font sizes. Print speeds are faster because of the optimization
features in this setting. The repetition of similar font data sent to the printing
system is reduced, thereby increasing the print speed. Print speed is not
increased when using Asian fonts such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean,
because of the large amount of font information used for these particular
fonts.
Allow native download
This method improves text quality and increases print speed by converting
TrueType fonts to Adobe Type 42 font format. This feature is available when
KPDL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box.
Download as bitmaps
Downloading fonts as bitmaps provides more detail, however it creates large
file sizes. This is best suited for print jobs with custom fonts, very small fonts
(point size 1-4), or Asian fonts.
Substitute with device fonts
System fonts and device fonts are automatically matched based on typeface
name. This function increases print speed and efficiency. It is useful for
changing a font used throughout a large document, by replacing the old font
with the desired font.
Note: GDI compatible mode does not support Substitute with device
fonts.
Selecting Font Settings
You can specify how TrueType fonts are sent to the printing system.
1
In Imaging > Font Settings, select one of the methods for sending TrueType
fonts.
2
Click OK to return to the Print dialog box.
3
Click OK to start printing.
Font Substitution
Font substitution is the process of using one font in place of another when the
intended font is not available to a printing system. Font substitution may be
critical for output of documents to printing systems that are not well supported
by a large font inventory.
