Uploading Printer fonts

UPLOADING PRINTER FONTS
Every printer manual I've looked at talks about downloading fonts to the printer. I understand that part; but can I upload the fonts to my ibook? If a printer is advertised as coming with, say, 136 Postscript fonts, will they be available to me to use if I haven't already got them on my machine?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

but can I upload the fonts to my ibook? If a printer is advertised as coming with, say, 136 Postscript fonts, will they be available to me to use if I haven't already got them on my machine?
Nope. They are on the printer as a convenience to speed up the printing process. If you were to print something using any of the fonts permanently installed on the printer, then those same fonts you're using on your Mac won't be sent to the printer. This reduces the amount of information that the application/print driver needs to send, resulting in faster execution of the page rendering. Which, as a result, gets the page out of the printer faster.
But you need to have those fonts on the Mac first by other means. They can't be pulled from the printer.

  • How do I upload a font family?

    I''m uploading a book as PDF pages to an on demand printer.
    The printer would like the entire font family included even though
    I'm only using one weight (style) each of 2 fonts.
    How do I go about uploading the entire font families?
    I seem to think I did this once before, but don't recall the step.
    Please give me a step by step instructions.
    Thank you.

    I think I see what you're going after.
    Open your project in Quark 8. Choose File > Collect for Output. The first thing it asks is "Save Project before continuing with Collect for Output?" Meaning, it wants to save the file even if you haven't changed anything. That's okay, you can just dump the copy of the document later. Click "Save".
    A dialogue box will come up. Create a new folder somewhere using the button at the lower left. The desktop is usually the easiest place to put things. If you want, you can change the name of the file at the top, but it usually makes the most sense to leave it the same name as the file you opened. Choose the new folder you created and click "Save".
    That just writes the open document to the newly created folder. Now you get the opportunity to save the rest of the related items. Turn on the check boxes for "Linked Pictures", "Printer Fonts", "Color Profiles" and "Screen Fonts". You don't want "Layout" on because you just did that. Having it on will cause the rest of the collection to fail. Click "Save". Actually, since you already have everything but the fonts as part of the PDF file, all you need is the "Printer Fonts" and "Screen Fonts".
    A nag box will appear explaining the legality of copying fonts that may be copyrighted. Click "OK".
    A copy of your document, images and fonts will now all be in the folder you created. You don't need the Quark document or images, but all of the fonts you need to send to the publisher will be there.

  • How can I print a LabView report using the printer font (not a windows font)?

    My printer is connected via a com interface. For speed reason I have to use the font of the printer. I use the report generation VIs to generate my report. With the VI "Set Report Font.vi" its possible to choose a font but I think only windows fonts are accepted.
    Printing from "WordPad" using printer fonts is no problem, just select font "15 CPI" for example. But how does it work with LabView?

    Have you already tried this in LabVIEW? What results did you receive when you tried it?

  • Why ist the printed font size smaller then the choosen font size in pages

    Hi,
    sorry about my english it´s a lot of years agoo i used it.
    since a cuple of months i choosed a mac mini to be used as my favorit pc-system. Now i am using pages to create letters and stuff like greeting cards, posters, flyers and so on.
    In this i´ll find a problem between the choosen font sizes and the printed paper.
    If i choose a font and size like arial 12, and start the print job of the lettert with my Printer (Samsung 3170 MFC or Samsung 315), the size of the printed font is very smaller than the in pages choosen font (seen on the screen.
    If i use MS offce it is the right size on the screen as on the printet paper.
    What do i wrong?
    Greetings from Hamburg Germany

    Maybe because your document isn't displayed at 100% but at 120% on your screen.
    On my iMac, to get the same size on screen and on paper, the zoom factor must be 142% which can't be done thru the available interface.

  • Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510

    Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510? I sent it via HP ePrint from a lotus notes based email account. It was just a text message but it was so small on the print out I could not begin to read it. 
    Thanks
    Matt

    At the document you plan to print, go to "file" in upper right corner.  Select "print preview".  Atop that window, select font size.  Recommended minimum 60%.  May need to adjust with different documents.
    Good luck!

  • Print font size too small

    When printing in Safari, the print size is tiny, both in email and web sites, smaller than it appears on screen. When using Internet explorer or Firefox it prints the right size. If I go to Safari edit, preferences, then appearance, and raise font size, it will print larger, but all font sizes on web pages are way big. How can I just increase the print font size. My IP is Comcast. OS is Win XP sp3.

    It should print the same size. Click View -> "Make text bigger" before printing.

  • Printer fonts not maintained

    Hi,
    A batch job has failed with the error "No printer fonts maintained for ARCHIXOS"
    ARCHIXOS is the device type. However instead of ARCHIXOS being called, it should call device type ZSWINCF, where all the fonts are maintained.
    The job calls program RM06ENDR_ALV. This program is used for printing and archiving purchase orders.
    1) What changes should I do so that the job does not fail again?
    2) How can I rectify the already existing PO's which are refering to the wrong device type?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Mick

    Mick,
    Following is the procedure we are using to configure and test MICR printer and it's devices:
    I hope this will help you to understand the config stuff.
    1. <b>Font verification</b>
    Once the SIMM/DIMM or Secure Font Module is installed, print the PCL Font List (through the printer control panel) to verify that the module was installed correctly and to verify the escape sequence of the fonts.
    2. <b>Creating custom device type</b>
    Once it is confirmed that printer is capable of printing MICR font, we need to create custom device type for this printer.
    •     Execute  transaction code “SPAD”
    •     Select “ Full administration” button to expand all available options
    •     Select “ Device Types ” tab
    •     Type “HP5MI” for  Device types  and press Display 
    •     Press “ Change” button
    •     Go to Utilities -> For device types -> Copy device type to ZHP5MI.
    •     Edit Print Control for the new device type ZHP5MI.
    •     Scroll down to Print Control for MICR E-13B 10pt which is SF450. (This is device specific)
    •     In the “Control Character Sequence” column, enter the hexadecimal escape sequence for the MICR E-13B 10 point of the printer. (This is printer/hardware specific).
    The value for current printer hardware is: 1B28384D1B28733070382E30356831302E30763073306231303054
    3. <b>Creating new output device</b>
    •     Execute  transaction code “SPAD”
    •     Click on  “ Change” button
    •     Click on “Create” button
    •     Enter an output device name as “ Accounting check printer”
    •     Enter newly created device type (ZHP5MI)
    •     Select default spool server
    •     Select host spool access method as “c: direct operating system call”
    •     Enter host printer as share print name on server (accounting)
    •     Save the setting.
    4. <b>Test MICR font printing</b>
    •     Execute transaction SO10
    •     Select SAP script “SAPSCRIPT-MICRTEST”
    •     Click on display
    •     Initiate print for displayed text
    •     Check out if MICR font is properly printed.
    Regards,

  • Printing font Barcode3of9 from Crystal Reports XI

    I have an issue with printing font Barcode3of9 from Crystal Reports XI utilizing Manhattan Associates Performance Management (PM) UI application.
    The font is applied to a field that is converted from a number to a text using the CStr formula in Crystal Reports XI in order to display the value as a barcode.
    The barcode on the report is converted successfully in the PM UI 100% of the time.  However the business tries to print the report using the print or the export the report functions and the barcode is not converted 100% of the time into a barcode only the value of the field displays.
    The font is installed on the server that the business accesses and I have installed the font on the web server for our testing environment, but it still does not aide with fixing the issue.
    Does anybody have any experience with this issue?
    Thank you

  • Can't change printing font at Entourage

    I don't know why but I can change the font for printing out emails from Entourage. I have tried to change the printed font in the perferences menu and used diff fonts and sizes, but no effect at all...
    Any idea ?

    If a received or sent message was composed in HTML, have you tried changing the message to Plain Text first?
    When you print a note or an HTML-format message, Microsoft Entourage uses the font and font size specified in the item, not the default settings you choose in the Preferences dialog box.
    Plain text messages print in the font and font size that you specify in the Preferences dialog box, regardless of how they appear on your screen.

  • Smartform-PDF-Printer fonts

    Hi Folks,
    Here we have designed a Invoice-smartform and converted it into PDF which is by default storing in c-drive as mentioned in the code.When we open the Pdf it is displaying it fine but when given a printout except the logo nothing is getting printed,I mean it is showing all junk characters.May I know what is the problem and how to rectify the same.
    Points will be given.
    K.Kiran.

    Hi Kiran, see the OSS notes: 960341 and 776507.
    I downloaded and copying here, Hope this will be helpful
    OSSNote:960341
    Symptom
    In some device types (e.g HPLJ4, HPLJ5) you experience non-uniform character spacing in the PDF document after the PDF conversion of SAPscript or Smart Forms documents, using HELVE or TIMES fonts. You want to know the reason.
    Other terms
    CONVERT_OTF, SAPscript, Smart Forms
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The problem is not due to an error in the PDF converter but due to the fact, that the printer font, underlying the device type (e.g. Univers or CG Times in PCL-5 device types), is not available for the PDF converter and is either not available in Adobe Reader. The PDF converter has to try to simulate the layout of the printer font by means of a font which is predefined in Adobe Reader. This is done by assigning the letter widths of the printer font to the font used in Adobe Reader.
    The PDF file contains a table with letter widths, used by Adobe Reader in the output of text, for each used printer font (except PostScript fonts).
    Example:
    %Charwidth values from HP4300 HELVE 060 normal
    /Widths
    [ 278 333 500 633 633 1000 758 333 333 333 633...
    Adobe reader converts this width table, by modifying the space between each character, so that the specified letter width (= space between the current and the next letter) is kept.
    This 'Simulation' of printer fonts results in the sometimes visible irregular spaces in PDF.
    The PDF converter always uses the Helvetica Adobe PostScript font for the display of HELVE and the Times Roman Adobe PostScript font for the display of TIMES. However, for these Adobe PostScript fonts, Adobe Reader often uses a Windows TrueType font, which differs slightly from the original PostScript font.
    Solution
    Workaround: Use the POST2 PostScript device type or the PDF1 PDF device type for the PDF conversion of documents in the Latin-1 character set. They both use the Adobe PostScript fonts Helvetica or Times Roman for the HELVE/TIMES printer fonts.

    OSS Note: 776507
    Symptom
    Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
    Other terms
    SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
    Solution
    When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
    1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
    Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
    2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
    Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
    3) The output character set of the device type
    Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
    A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
    Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
    As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
    4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
    When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
    To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
    If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
    Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
    The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
    A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
    Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.
    Which fonts are suitable for a given language?

    Verify your output by examining the OTF data
    When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
    The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
    Goto->Display Requests->Settings
    and choose
    Display Mode: Raw
    Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
    Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
    //XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
    IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
    IN05%PAGE1
    OPDINA4  P 144  240 1683811906000010000100001

    SW00067
    CT00000000
    ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
    The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
    //XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
    The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
    IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
    In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
    The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
    OPDINA4  P 144  240 1683811906000010000100001
    The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
    CP11000000E
    Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.

  • X11 printing font controls

    I continue to have problems controlling my printer from some OS X applications (emacs and xemacs, to be specific). While I can print from emacs without apparent difficulty, xemacs is, at the moment, at lost cause. My latest bete noire for emacs is my inability to alter the default printing font, which appears to be a 14 point monospaced font. Since it is printing a page that is composed in 11 point monospaced font, there is no way for programs, their headers, or anything else to come out correctly. By contrast, in a program like vim, also running under X11, the display font is exactly the same as the printing font and so the text appears on the printed page exactly as it does on screen. While I understand this to be an emacs problem, I'm 100% convinced of this. As proof, if I lpr the file directly outside of emacs or vim, the file prints in 14 point monospace type. I have the default font for OS X applications set to be 11 point True-type font and I can control that directly from the Printer Setup or Page setup panel within any OS X application.
    There HAS to be a default font setting buried deep in the bowels of the Unix configuration (.bashrc, .profiles printer.conf, somewhere) but I've been unable to locate the precise place to change this so that my X11 applications all print through lpr in a uniform 11 point font.
    Any suggestions on where to start drilling for font oil?

  • Need HP Line printer Font 16.67/8.5 Roman-8 for Windows font.

    I am looking for a font that is currently in my HP 4Si Printer, PCL Font Source I, Font Number 50, sym Set Roman-8. The PCL Typeface List names the font as Line Printer, Scale 16.67/8.5, Font # 50. I am trying to print my forms to a virtual printer to convert the form into a compressed searchable PDF, but I need the Line Printer font to match my current font being printed through the PCL printer font. I tried several others fonts but the columns get all screwed up because the spacing and size are not the same. I will purchase the font if I could only find where to buy it. Any help will be appreciated. Printer: HP 4Si P/N : C2009A Serial : {Removed for privacy} Thanks, Rob
