Downloading Fonts
To supplement the resident fonts (which are always available for printing), downloadable fonts
can be sent from your computer and stored in the printer’s RAM, optional flash memory, or on
the printer’s optional hard drive.
Note
If you turn the printer off, the fonts you download to RAM are deleted. You must
download them again when you turn the printer on.

downloaded with your print job, a different font will be used.

Downloading Fonts from CentreWare Font Management Utility
The CentreWare Font Management Utility (FMU) is a Windows and Macintosh application
that helps manage fonts, macros and forms on a printer’s hard drive. Downloading fonts to a
printer can improve printing performance and reduce network traffic. You can list, print,
delete, and download PostScript and PCL fonts using the Font Management Utility.
