Introduction
Introduction
The Zebra Fonts and Graphics Downloader is a software package dedicated to preparing and
downloading TrueType fonts to the memory installed in printers. Fonts that are downloaded to
the memory card are treated as internal printer objects. This enables much faster printing
because there is no need to transfer text to the printer at print time.
Zebra Fonts and Graphics Downloader can:
• Add, edit, and view data prepared for download on memory.
• Check the available memory space before downloading.
• Share the information about the contents of the memory card with the ZebraDesigner Pro
labeling software.
Print the downloaded data from the memory.

This command will close the program.
Note • When you will exit the program, the Windows operating system does not know about
the changes you have made to the memory card. Before using the downloaded graphics or

printer driver automatically updates the changes on the memory card.
You should also be aware that the labeling application saves printer settings in each .LBL file.
The printer settings have to be updated in all .LBL files, connected to the selected printer, if
you want to use graphics and fonts on the memory card. For more information, refer to the
documentation of labeling application and printe r drivers.
Select this command to apply all changes you have made and return back to label design
