= SUMMARY =

On the IBM Pageprinter, all fonts are download fonts. These fonts come on a disk supplied with the printer. This font disk goes into a disk drive that is located inside the Pageprinter. There is no explicit manual downloading required; the Pageprinter itself handles the dynamic downloading of fonts (as they are needed) for you.

When using Word version 3.1x, 4.00, or 5.00 and the PAGEDL.PRD printer driver, Word does automatic one-time downloading of all fonts being used before printing. If the printer runs out of memory, you must reformat the document with fewer fonts.

Word supports only the standard font disk supplied with the printer. There is no support for any other font disk available from IBM for the Pageprinter.

Word version 5.50 also utilizes the PAGEDL.PRD file and operates in the same fashion described above.
