Making fonts available to the printer If your output contains fonts that are not installed on the printer, you must make sure the missing fonts are sent to the printer. Embedding fonts You can embed the missing fonts in the output sent to the printer. See Embedding fonts in PDF documents and Embedding fonts in output to PCL printers. Downloading soft fonts Embedding fonts in the output increases the size of the output files. If you want to keep down the size of the output sent to PCL printers, you can download the missing fonts as softfonts to the printer. See Downloading soft fonts to PCL printers.
