Problem

Solutions: The Kyocera F-1000A printer driver has a category called Dynamic Fonts that appears under the Cartridges & Soft Fonts menu. Several Kyocera printers have Dynamic fonts (scalable fonts) that are resident in the printer. The printer has the outlines of these fonts stored in its memory. To access these fonts, the software program must send a GENF command that tells the printer what size font to make. The printer then makes the font and moves the font to another location in the printer's memory. By default, the printer allocates 128K of it's memory for the purpose of storing these newly made fonts. However, if you want to use larger point sizes, the fonts will take more memory at the printer. For example, a Gothic 48pt font will take up 137K of memory. The printer wouldn't be able to move this font because there is not enough memory allocated at the printer level. The user can enter the printer's menu and allocate more memory for this purpose (depending on the amount of memory on the printer). The customer may need to purchase additional memory for the printer if they need to allocate a large amount of memory for several large fonts.

To have WordPerfect ask the printer to make the dynamic fonts, go to the Cartridges & Soft Font menu by pressing Shift-F7, S (Select Printer), E (Edit), and change the quantity available under Dynamic Fonts to match the allocation of memory at the printer level. Then, press Enter on the typeface of the font the customer desires to use. The customer can then mark the appropriate font with an * (remember these are built in fonts). In the actual font options, the Quantity Used option will display an "XXX" slot. The "XXX" refers to the amount of memory the printer needs to make and use the selected font. The slot name really doesn't refer to anything else on the printer.
