= SUMMARY =

The Bitstream Fontware Package generates a DAT file that removes ALL downloadable fonts (permanent and temporary) currently residing in the printer’s memory before the printer downloads its own fonts.

Fonts that are downloaded as permanent fonts should remain in the printer’s memory until the printer is powered down. This is not a problem with the drivers shipped with Microsoft Word.

For more information on permanent and temporary downloadable fonts, query on the following words:

5.00 and permanent and temporary and download and fonts

The following are steps to correct this problem:

  Load the Fontware-created DAT file into Microsoft Word from the Transfer Load “filename:” field. The DAT file has the same name as the printer driver created by Fontware, but it has a DAT extension rather than a PRD extension.   In the first line of the DAT file, there are a number of unusual binary characters. Find the following sequence of characters: *c0F   Change the “0” (zero) to a “1” (number 1) so that the sequence reads as follows: *c1F   Save the DAT file and print.
