Just bought this printer/copier. Keep getting error message saying certain fonts are not available. Prints anyway - but how do I install additional fonts
Fonts are typically available either for free or for a fee.
Only fonts that are visible in your C:\WINDOWS\Fonts Directory will be available to print.
You can google fonts and find more if you are looking.
Also, depending on the program you are using, you can save as a .pdf to print and this will "pack " you fonts into the document. You cna also use the "prepare for commercial printing" option in MS Publisher to store the fonts in the file.
Bottom line, if the font isnt installed, you cant use it.
You may be getting this error if the document came from someone who has the font but you dont. If that's the case, tell your friend you need the fonts. Just copy them out of the E:\WINDOWS\Fonts directory to your disc.

Change the font in the application that you are using.
The problem may be that the printer's resident fonts does not include the font you are calling. So the printer's logic says, "Go find the best font you can." The font search gives you the wrong font.
If your printer allows you to print out the fonts, do that and make sure the font you want is in the list.
If it is not, then you will have to use a "Soft font" and make sure that your application knows to download/include soft fonts to the printer
You printer driver is telling you that it received a font call at data position 317 that called for a Windings font, but the printer cannot find the indicated font.
More than likely you have not enabled soft fonts to be included in the datastream and the printer has no choice but to search its internal fonts to find the fonts.
If it cannot, the driver reports the failure.
If you can create a print file for me, and send it to me at [email protected], I will be able to read the datastream and possibly fix the failure for you.
1 - (and most likely) you are using a bit-mapped font instead of a true-type font and at a fairly large font size. Bit-map fonts are composed of dots, much like an icon, and cannot be scaled beyond a certain value or you see the jagged edges.
2 - you are using a true-type font at a fairly large size and your printer does not have a post-script driver installed on your computer, so it takes the font and converts it to its closest bitmap representation and prints it out...rendering the font in all of its jagged glory!
possible fonts issue. try to change the font from the text, check setings from the driver.
try to print from the driver (test print)
Try to print from Word (need to ajust the page) with diferents text fonts.
you can check the correct firmware ( be ware with the information about the serial number) ATENTION!!! wrong firmware can cause PRINTER DEAD!!!
Well postscript fonts are vector outline fonts, so they contain instructions about the building of their outlines and curves and such. Hence two files are required to use a postscript font under Windows.
As to how to install these fonts, well
Click Start | Settings | Control Panel.
Double-click on the Fonts folder.
Choose File | Install New Font.
In
the Folders menu, navigate to the folder containing the fonts that you
wish to install. A list of available fonts will appear in the List of
Fonts window.
Click on the font you wish to install or use the "Select All" button to install all fonts in the List of Fonts.
Click on OK.
Please keep in mind:
If
you are installing fonts from a CD be sure the 'Add without copying
files' box is NOT checked; unless the fonts are on a located somewhere
(such as a network) which you will have access to at all times.
Postscript fonts have two files: PFB (printer font binary has outlines that
control how the font looks) and PFM (printer font metrics has
information about font spacing). Be sure you have both font files.
If
you currently have or previously had Adobe Type Manager Deluxe 4.0,
4.1, or 4.1.1 installed you may need the Adobe Deluxe Updater in order
to properly use your Postscript fonts under Windows XP. Get it from
Adobe.
Hope this helped. Let me know and if yes please rate me:)
Depends on what software you are using, but you can use any True Type Font for the human readable, and any propritry barcode font available as downlaods. However these barcode fonts tend not to print very small, it is a matter of trial and error. www.lancerlabels.co.uk
You could be set in draft mode in your printers properties, or, you could be using ECONO Mode.
Sometimes People use PCL Fonts for their printers, and other use PS Fonts. PCL is the typical font type. PS is post script, which Adobe type fonts are used. If you are set to PS Fonts using MS Word, you might try PCL Font types instead.
Does this occur when you are printing from a specific program or anytime you print?
