The uninstaller easily and safely uninstalls printing system components and their related files
without affecting other system components or shared system files. Removing printer files without
the use of the uninstaller is not recommended and can affect the integrity of the your system files.
Screen Fonts
Eighty Latin True Type fonts are printer resident and available for PCL5, PCL6, and PostScript
jobs. All 80 fonts are also available for Unix/DOS applications.
When you install any driver, the Installer will include all 80 of these as screen fonts in the user OS
in Windows. This ensures that the fonts displayed in the host applications have identical
appearance and metrics to the fonts in the printer. Screen fonts are installed by default in the

NOTE: The FontSmart utility is not included in the print system CD-
