Specifications

Outline fonts are preferred for the printer because the printer
must be able to print any point size requested from the
software while maintaining high-quality output. Since many
software programs allow you to select anywhere from 4-point
to %-point fonts, it would be impractical to store all possible
bitmaps at the printer.
Screen fonts, however, are normally bitmap fonts that are
designed specifically for screen’s resolution. Not all sizes of
bitmap fonts are stored at the computer, but the poor quality
that results from substituting bitmaps is less of a problem on
the screen than it would be at the printer. Also, many users
now rely on software programs, such as Adobe” ATM,“’ to
redraw screen fonts to the requested size.
TrueType fonts
If you are running Windows 3.1, you can also use TrueType
fonts. TrueType is an outline font format that allows the
computer to create screen fonts. TrueType fonts were
developed jointly by Microsoft Corporation and Apple
®
Computer for use in the Windows 3.1 and Macintosh
®
System 7 environments.
With TrueType fonts there is no need to install screen fonts.
The same outline used to create the font to be printed is used to
create the font displayed on screen, thus ensuring that the
screen display always matches the printed output and
eliminating the need to maintain multiple screen fonts.
Available Fonts
The following table lists the fonts that are installed on your
printer. The names of all the font families appear on your
software’s Font menu if you are using the LJ4 driver. If you are
using a different driver, not all font families will be available.
