driver will download the font data as bitmap images.    
Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or    
Chinese, or various other font s, will print faster in this 
setting.
This feature is available only when you use 
the PCL6 printer driver.
 
-

•
Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the 
printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident 
fonts) to print your document , rather than downloading the 
fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes 
time, selecting this option can  speed up your printing time. 
When using Printer fonts, the pr inter will try to match the fonts 
used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, 
however, you use fonts in your document that are very different 
from those resident in the prin ter, your printed output will 
appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.  
This feature is available only when you use the PCL6 
printer driver.
