To print a document containing text (not just images of text), the printer must have access to the font file of every font used in it. These font files may be OpenType fonts provided by Windows, individual fonts or font packs from RedTitan or downloaded with the document for installation in the Resident Font Library.

| 2. | Click Browse to locate the folder where the fonts are stored. A table of 'Likely font files' (such as .RFF) or 'Font packs' (.FIF) are shown. |

| 3. | If a download font matches one that has been installed in the Resident font library already, a dialog will ask you to confirm that it is OK to overwrite it. |
| o | No; this displays your regular 'Save As' dialog. Enter a File name e.g. DF1.rff then click Save. |
This step is repeated for each download font where an identical font is already installed.
The Same reply to all similar questions check-box is provided to save time for those jobs containing many fonts which may be treated alike.
| 4. | The 'Installing fonts' dialog will ask you whether to install all the fonts. |
| o | Click Yes: the ID is used as the stem of the file name. Or |
| o | No to display the 'Save As' dialog. Enter a File name then click Save. |
