TrueType® Font Recall Options

Note: The font recallClosed The ability to reference a font and style at print time by using a font file stored in device memory. Using font recall can reduce the amount of data in the print stream and therefore improve performance. functionality requires that you install the same font in Loftware Enterprise SP and on your device. Font recall is not supported for Loftware Enterprise SP's built-in fonts. If you attempt to use font recall with a built-in font by installing a font of the same name on your device, the result may not be WYSIWYG.

Note: In some circumstances, font recall cannot be applied for a particular field. For more information, see Troubleshoot Devices.

Combinations of font and style that Loftware Enterprise SP can reference in device memory to support font recallClosed The ability to reference a font and style at print time by using a font file stored in device memory. Using font recall can reduce the amount of data in the print stream and therefore improve performance.. For a font to be referenced, it must have already been saved to the specified location in device memory, and must already have been installed in Loftware Enterprise SP.

Font: The name of a font. Only fonts installed in Loftware Enterprise SP are displayed in this list.

Bold and Italic: Which style of the font to reference. To reference more than one style, you must include each style as a separate row in the Downloaded Fonts table.

Recall Name: The device drive letter and font file name where you have saved the font in device memory, such as E:ARIALUNI.TTF. Each device drive letter represents a location in device memory. For more information, refer to your device manufacturer's documentation.

Tip: If your device can print out a list of the fonts installed in device memory or display the list via a web browser, use that list to determine the Recall Name to enter in Loftware Enterprise SP.

Important! If the same font is loaded into more than one location in device memory, create an entry in the Downloaded Fonts table for only one of these instances.

Add: Add a row to the Downloaded Fonts table so that you can select a new font and style combination for Loftware Enterprise SP to be able to reference in device memory at print time. The font must already be installed in Loftware Enterprise SP and loaded into device memory for font recall to format the text as intended.

Delete: Remove the selected font and style combination from the list available to Loftware Enterprise SP for recall.

Important! Adding a font to the list does not load it into device memory or install it in Loftware Enterprise SP, nor does deleting a font from the list remove it from device memory or uninstall it from Loftware Enterprise SP. For information about how to install fonts in Loftware Enterprise SP, see Managing Fonts. For information about how to load fonts into device memory, refer to your device manufacturer's documentation.

Using font recall can reduce the amount of data in the print stream and therefore improve performance. functionality for TrueType fonts that you have installed in Loftware Enterprise SP. This manufacturer's devices allow you to load one or more fonts into device memory. If you have loaded fonts into device memory, Loftware Enterprise SP can reference those fonts at print time, reducing the amount of data in the print stream and improving printing performance.

Important! For this functionality to work, you must have loaded these fonts into device memory. Refer to your device manufacturer's documentation for information about how to load fonts into device memory.

Cleared: Do not enable TrueType font recall functionality. (Default)

Selected: Enable TrueType font recall functionality.

TrueType® Font Mapping Options

So that the result is as close to WYSIWYG as possible, it is recommended that you select a native font that is comparable to the Loftware Enterprise SP font.

Note: If the same TrueType® font is used for both font recall and font mapping, the recalled font takes precedence.
