■"Factors Affecting Printing Performance" on page 5-2

Overview of Basic Steps

Follow these steps to print jobs:

1. Load paper in the tray. For information about loading trays, see the Loading Media chapter

of this guide, or go to Getting Started/Loading Media on the User Documentation CD-

ROM.

2. If prompted by the control panel, either confirm the paper type and size or change it as

required.

3. From the application, access the Print dialog box.

4. If desired, select printing options in the printer driver.

■For information about accessing and using the driver, see "Obtaining the Printer

Driver" on page 5-6.

■For information about specifying print options, see "Adjusting Printing Options" on

page 5-6.

5. Send the job to the printer from the application’s Print dialog box.

Factors Affecting Printing Performance

Many factors affect a print job. They include the print speed (stated in number of pages per

minute), the media used, download time, and system processing time.

The computer download time and system processing time are affected by several factors

including:

■System memory

■Connection type (network or USB)

■Network operating system

■System configuration

■File size and type of graphics

■Computer speed

Note

Additional system memory (RAM) may improve overall printer functions, but will not

increase the pages per minute (ppm) ability of the system.

■Printer-resident PostScript and PCL fonts, which are always available for printing

■Fonts downloaded into system memory

■Fonts downloaded with your print job from the application

Adobe Type Manager (ATM) software enables your computer to display these fonts on your

computer screen as they will appear in your prints.

If you do not have ATM on your computer:

1. Install ATM from the WorkCentre C2424 Software CD-ROM.

2. Install the system’s screen fonts for your computer from the ATM folder.

Viewing a List of System Fonts Available for Printing

To view a list of available PCL or PostScript fonts, use CentreWare IS:

1. Launch your web browser.

2. Enter your system’s IP address in the browser’s Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

3. Click the Properties button.

4. Click the Web Server folder on the left sidebar, then click Font Files.

Downloading Fonts

To supplement the resident fonts (which are always available for printing), downloadable fonts

can be sent from your computer and stored in the system’s memory or on the system’s hard

drive.

Note

If you turn the system off, the fonts you download to memory are deleted. You must

download them again when you turn the system on.

Before printing, verify that the fonts specified in your document are installed in the system or

are set up to download correctly. If your document has a font not currently in your system, or

downloaded with your print job, a different font will be used.

The system accepts the following downloadable fonts for printing:

■PCL

■Type 1

■Type 3

■TrueType (scalable to any point size; looks the same on-screen and printed).

Downloading Fonts from the CentreWare Font Management Utility

The CentreWare Font Management Utility (FMU) is a Windows and Macintosh application

that helps manage fonts, macros and forms on a printer’s hard drive. Downloading fonts to a

printer can improve printing performance and reduce network traffic. You can list, print,

delete, and download PostScript and PCL fonts using the Font Management Utility.

To download the Font Management Utility, go to www.xerox.com/office/drivers and use the

Key word search FMU.
