TOPIC

    We have an APS Technologies 213MB hard drive internally connected to our LaserWriter Pro 630. We were able to initialize it with LaserWriter Utility 7.6.1 and download fonts to it. We can print the font catalog just fine and can also print the fonts on the hard drive from applications.

    We are, however, unable to print Font Samples. When we select "Print Font Samples" from the LaserWriter Utility menu, 4 pages get spooled to print monitor and only the first page prints which displays the fonts in the ROM of the printer. The rest of the pages never print and the light on the printer quits flashing after a while. Can the LaserWriter Utility print font samples for fonts on the printer's hard drive?

DISCUSSION

    The LaserWriter Utility has the capability of printing font samples for all of the printers fonts, whether in ROM, RAM, or attached hard disk. Typically, when the "Print Font Samples" command is selected from the menu of the LaserWriter Utility, it will print a page for the fonts in the printer's memory (ROM and RAM), and a following page for fonts on the printer's disk if one is attached. By the way, font samples are printed for both TrueType and Type 1 fonts resident at the printer.
