Selecting Fonts
Whenever possible select fonts in your application. See your 
software documentation for instructions.
If you are sending unformatted text to the printer directly from 
DOS or if you are using a simple software package that does not 
include font selection, you can select fonts using the printer’s 
control panel menus when in the LJ4, ESC/P 2, FX, or I239X 
emulation mode.
Downloading Fonts
Fonts that reside on your computer’s hard disk can be 
downloaded, or transferred, to the printer so they can be printed. 
Downloaded fonts, also called soft fonts, remain in printer 
memory until you turn off the printer or otherwise reset it. If you 
plan on downloading many fonts, make sure your printer has 
sufficient memory.
Most font packages make it easy to manage fonts by providing 
their own installer. The installer gives you the option of having 
the fonts automatically downloaded whenever you start your 
computer or having fonts downloaded only when you need to 
print a particular font.
