HP LaserJet Series II - Font ID Number Limita |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer with a Pacific Data Products 25-in-1! Cartridge (172) and the HP LaserJet Series II printer could not get the Times Roman 10pt landscape font to print out. When the user performed a font test at the printer, the landscape fonts did not show up. Another customer using WPWin found that the text in the document printed in the wrong font point size and characters were dropped. They were using TrueType fonts and the 25-in-1! cartridge. Solutions: The following information is an explanation on the limitations of the HP LaserJet Series II that are commonly encountered when people use the Pacific Data Products cartridge (also, see memo # WALL_8324 in the PRINT51, WP50, WP51, and WPWIN51 infobases.): 1. The printer can use 16 different fonts per page. Each font has a code that is used to access a font. Each font is stored in a table as it is asked for during the printing process. If you ask for a font that has already been used, it is not added to the table. This includes changing to a bold font for bold, an italic font for italics, or even changing to a Math-8 symbol set font to print Greek characters. Each font can be used as many times as desired. The 16 font limit refers to 16 unique fonts not 16 font changes. For example, bold, normal, bold, normal does not constitute four different fonts, only 2 - bold and normal. 2. The printer can only assign 32 soft font ID numbers for fonts in memory. This is not really an issue with the 25-in-One! except that people commonly run into this limitation. 3. The printer can print samples of 99 fonts in the printer test. 4. The printer can store 192 total font headers. 24 of these are already taken by internal fonts. With the 172 font version of the 25-in-One! cartridge, the printer is already over the limit by 4 fonts. This can happen without causing problems as long as there is a duplication of fonts in the cartridge as those which are resident. This does mean, however, that no soft fonts can be loaded, regardless of memory. This limitation applies to total number of soft fonts in memory, total number of cartridge based fonts in both slots, and the 24 fonts resident in the printer. |
