The best method for printing from a LaserWriter is by using either fonts
downloaded into RAM from a hard disk attached to the printer, or using
fonts downloaded into RAM over the network. Both of these methods are
better than printing directly from fonts stored on a hard disk.
Here are two more advantages to this method:
- The hard disk attached to the printer can hold hundreds of fonts,
compared to the limited font-storage capability of the printer's RAM.
- All users have access to all fonts stored on the printer, freeing
valuable disk space at each computer. Users need only to have the
screen fonts installed, not the downloadable printer fonts.
