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.
