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.
