Font Requirements

True Type

We recommend using True Type fonts ONLY. TrueType fonts are the most versatile and should

be used whenever possible. They provide the best print quality and will print well at any size.

PostScript

We do not recommend using PostScript fonts. The laser system is NOT a PostScript printer

and therefore has no capability of printing PostScript fonts. Sometimes a PostScript font will

print if you are running Adobe Type Manager (ATM). Adobe Type Manager converts PostScript

fonts to bitmapped fonts before sending the information to our printer driver. Using ATM does

not guarantee that the PostScript font will print properly therefore it is NOT recommended.

Bitmap

Bitmapped fonts only print well when used at the specific point size they were designed for.

This point size is usually indicated in the font name such as Times Roman 12. If a font is only

available in bitmap form, you must print it at the size it was created for. Scaling the font larger

will result in a more jagged looking character although scaling it smaller produces good results.

Helpful Tip

If you are having any problems printing a font and you cannot figure out what is going on, select

the font and “convert to curves” or “convert to paths” in your graphics software. This will convert

the font into a bitmapped image and will print correctly to the laser system. Refer to your

graphics software on how to convert fonts.

As you can see, we strongly recommend the use of True Type fonts only. Usually, most

graphics programs, such as CorelDRAW come with hundreds of fonts that you can install. For

the average user there is more than enough to choose from.

Software Setup - CorelDRAW 8 and 9

There are many software programs that you can purchase off-the-shelf that will work with the

laser system. We recommend the use of CorelDRAW 8 or CorelDRAW 9. Other software

programs might not be able to access all of the features of the laser system. Whichever

program you choose, it must be set up to work with the laser system otherwise unexpected

results may occur. There is a slightly different setup procedure for CorelDRAW 8 than for

CorelDRAW 9. Use the procedure that matches the version you are using.

NOTE: The ULS Windows Printer Driver must be loaded before continuing. Your laser

system should be connected to LPT1 and the ULS Printer driver should be set as the

default driver.
