You can select a font in any of these typefaces, specifying height (point size) and symbol set. 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.
