Utilities menu functions

Choose:

Name Printer… to rename your printer. See “Naming the Elite XL” on page

3-20.

Set Startup Page… to turn the printer’s start page On or Off. This option

corresponds to the Start Page submenu (see page 2-7) in the front panel of the

Elite XL. For example, if you turn off the start page in the LaserWriter Utility,

the Start Page option in the display window on the front panel will be set to

Disabled. (The Elite XL’s default is Enabled.)

Get Page Count… to display the total number of pages printed by the Elite

XL.

Download PostScript File… to send a PostScript file directly to the printer.

Restart Printer… to restart the printer between print jobs. This is useful for

clearing downloaded fonts from the printer’s memory and is preferable to

switching the printer off and on again, as it will not interrupt another print job.

Downloading fonts from Windows

Type 1 fonts

Type 1 fonts are automatically downloaded to the Elite XL. These fonts are

deleted from the printer’s RAM when the print job is complete. However, you

may want to keep downloaded fonts in the printer’s RAM for successive print

jobs. To maintain Type 1 fonts in the printer’s RAM, manually download the

fonts using the font downloading utility included with your Type 1 font

package. Manually downloaded fonts remain in the printer’s RAM until you

switch off the Elite XL.

Note: If your normal routine is to download several fonts to the printer, it is a good idea

to adjust the Windows printer driver’s virtual memory setting so that it can better

process your documents. To adjust the virtual memory refer to the procedure on page

C-7. Perform the procedure after you have downloaded your normal set of fonts to the

printer.

TrueType fonts

While you can download TrueType fonts to the Elite XL, Windows does not

recognize TrueType fonts as resident fonts. Therefore, the TrueType fonts

will still be downloaded from the PC at print time.
