Loading IBM AFP resident outline fonts

Enhanced font support

Xerox DocuSP IPDS User Guide

DocuSP IPDS provides the ability to load and use printer-resident

AFP scalable outline fonts. These fonts are loaded from the IBM AFP

font collection CD, which is purchased separately. The AFP font

collection product number for AIX and OS/2 is 5648-B45.

NOTE: The AFP font collection product number for AIX and OS/2

changed from 5648-113 to 5648-B45. DocuSP IPDS supports both of

these product numbers and both CDs contain the correct set of fonts.

Fonts are converted for use with IPDS jobs and stored on the printer

when the fonts are loaded. Although the fonts reside on the printer,

they cannot be viewed using the DocuSP Font Manager. They can be

viewed using the Manage Fonts capability on the IPS Manager. A

sample job is provided to verify that the resident outline font support is

properly installed on the printer controller. To add or remove the fonts,

refer to the DocuSP IPS Manager on-line help.

A default resident outline font is provided for instances where the

requested AFP font is not resident or the default is specifically

requested. This default font cannot be changed. Enhanced font

support can be enabled for host environments that expect resident

outline font substitution for raster fonts.

The Enhanced Font Support feature is an extension of the printer-

resident outline font support in DocuSP IPDS. Most hosts download

required raster fonts. This feature is most beneficial when using the

OS/400 (iSeries) host environment with resident outline fonts. The

OS/400 expects resident outline font support to include all font types

and expects the printer to resolve font substitution requirements. No

distinction is made between raster font and outline font requests. This

feature may also be beneficial to other host environments for solving

font errors.

Use the following information to decide whether or not to disable the

Enhanced Font Support feature:

•

Enabled — When enhanced font support is enabled, if the host

requests a raster font, DocuSP IPDS substitutes an equivalent

resident outline font if one is available. If the host requests a font for

which there is no resident outline font match or equivalent, the default

resident outline font is used.

•

Disabled — When enhanced font support is disabled, no font

substitution occurs. Requests for fonts that are resident are honored,

and all other fonts will be downloaded by the host. The default

resident outline font is used only when explicitly requested by the

host.
