Downloading Fonts, Forms and Macros (Overlays)Chapter 3: Using the Hard Drive and Flash Memory v 3-3Downloading Fonts, Formsand Macros (Overlays)The printer drivers provide you with the ability todownload fonts and PCL 5e macros (overlays) to theprinter.Fonts, forms and macros can be downloaded to printermemory, to the optional hard drive and to optional flashmemory via drivers.• To download fonts you must first install theappropriate Windows, Macintosh, Windows NT, orUNIX drivers. To download macros, you must installthe Windows PCL 5e driver.• Fonts downloaded to the hard drive are stored in thePCL Fonts and PS Fonts directories. Macrosdownloaded to the hard drive are stored in the PCLMacros directory. Fonts, forms and macros stored inthese directories remain there until you delete them.They are not cleared from the hard disk when theprinter is powered off. You can only delete a macrofrom the hard disk if you know the name of the macro.Since you cannot print a list of macros as you can forfonts, it is important to keep a record of alldownloaded macros. Then, use the PJL FSDELETEcommand to delete fonts, forms and macros.• “Temporary” fonts/forms/macros downloaded toprinter memory on a job per job basis are cleared fromthe printer's memory after each job.• “Permanent” fonts downloaded to printer memory arecleared from memory whenever the printer is poweredoff. When the printer switches PDLs, its automaticState Saving feature saves all fonts and macros.In addition to downloading through drivers, the printerwill support downloading of fonts, forms and macros toits disk or flash memory by the use of the PJL commandFSDOWNLOAD. These files may be deleted from the harddrive by the PJL command FSDELETE.
