Introduction
Your GCC printer supports a wide range of font types and formats for both the
PostScript and PCL environment.
For PostScript users, your GCC printer comes with 11 high-quality PostScript font
families built into its internal hardware. These fonts are in the Bitstream
®
Speedo™
format and are designed to match the corresponding Adobe Type 1 fonts.
Your GCC printer can also render any Adobe Type 1 and Apple TrueType™ fonts
that you may be using in your documents. When a document contains fonts that are
not built into the printer, the high-quality outline versions of the fonts will be
automatically downloaded to the printer during the print job and then removed after
the job has finished. You may also manually download fonts to the printer’s internal
memory (RAM) by using the LaserWriter Utility, included with your GCC printer's
software, or downloaders included with many font packages; manually downloading
fonts can make printing faster. When fonts are manually downloaded to the printer,
they remain in the printer’s RAM and available for all print jobs sent to the printer
for as long as the printer is switched on; the fonts are removed from RAM when the
printer is switched off.
For PCL 5 users, your GCC printer comes with two high quality PCL outline font
families and two 300 dpi bitmap fonts. The outline fonts are in the Bitstream Speedo
format, which are designed to match the AGFA Intellifont
®
fonts found in the HP
LaserJet III.
Resident PostScript fonts
Your GCC printer comes with 11 high quality PostScript font families installed in the
printer’s ROM: Times, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica Narrow, Palatino,
Avant Garde, Bookman, New Century Schoolbook, Zapf Chancery, and Zapf Ding-
bats. The GCC printer's printing software includes the matching bitmap screen fonts
for the Macintosh. Screen fonts are the bitmapped images that appear on the screen
and are selected from within a document. When you click the
button, the
Macintosh sends a description of the bitmap screen font to your GCC printer in the
PostScript page description language. Your GCC printer uses the PostScript inter-
preter to print the high quality outline font. For more information on the structure
of the PostScript language, Adobe offers three books, published by Addison-Wesley:
PostScript Language Reference Manual (2nd Edition), PostScript Language Cookbook
and Tutorial, and PostScript Language Program Design.
