HP Web Jetadmin - Storage Features

9
PCL Bitmap Fonts - *.LGP, *.USL, *.USP, *.R8L, *.R8P, *.L7L, *.L7P
Macros:
PostScript Macro - *.pfa, *.prn *.txt
Bitmap Image - *.bmp
Collections: - TrueType Collection file, *.ttc, contains a collection of TrueType Fonts in one
packaged file. This file will be broken into its individual font files before it is sent to the
FontConversion.dll for processing as FontConversion.dll cannot process collections on its own.
If, during the file conversion process, there is no output from the .dlls, then the file was not recognized
as a known type.
Once files have been imported, HP Web Jetadmin offers a user modifiable ID column that provides a
Font ID upon which the font can be called. If a Resource ID is present inside an uploaded file, the ID
will be preserved.
Files can be saved to file meaning a PJL file will be created on the pc that can be manually copied to
a device later through any preferred print connection.
Install
Selecting the Install box will start the wizard that installs files from the repository onto the selected
devices. Files and IDs provided by user will overwrite those on device. If the ID column is left blank, a
new ID will be generated for the given font on the device during installation unless the device already
contains the font and it has an ID.
A destination can be selected for the various media types. Largest Free Space is the default. Single
device view will filter out media types not present, multi-device view will display all media types
present or not.
An opportunity to provide validation for user to push fonts/macros and overwrite conflicting files/IDs
on the device will be presented during the install. For files downloaded with no ID given, an ID is
generated for it in the pclResourceFile.
PJL over port 9100 is the preferred mechanism for installing fonts and macros on devices. If PJL is
disabled on the device, NFS will be used.
Storage templates can be created to download fonts/macros or delete fonts/macros.
Templates can be selected when saving to file.
RESIDENT FONTS
Resident Fonts displays the number of fonts that came with the device out of the box. The mouse-over
tool tip displays a table of all resident fonts on the device.
Resident fonts on USB drives that were installed by PJL scripts show up as DIMM in Slot 4 for location.
If multiple USB drives contain resident fonts, they will all be reported under the Resident Fonts view
and the location will be reported as DIMM in Slot 4 for all. This is due to how the printer reports these
fonts. If multiple USB drives contain the same resident fonts and IDs, they will appear in the Resident
Fonts view as repeats. The printer is reporting all the Resident Fonts on each USB drive with the same
location.
