Problem

Solutions: The ROM of the Hewlett Packard LaserJet Series II was engineered to recognize the presence of up to 192 fonts and no more. Of these 192, 24 fonts are reserved for the printer's internal fonts. When the number of fonts currently in the printer exceeds 192, the printer allows only one of the font sources to be used during the print job. For example, if the user has a cartridge with X number of fonts and Y number of soft fonts and X + Y = more than 192, the printer will use only the fonts from the cartridge and the softfonts will not print. Because the Pacific Data Products "25 in One!" cartridge contains 172 fonts, just 20 fonts short of the printer's limit, its presence in particular may cause problems with softfonts.

One customer who had encountered this problem, changed the Pacific Data Products (PDP) 25-In-One cartridge from the right slot to the left slot (moving the Z cartridge to the right slot). This worked becausye the Z cartridge was occupying the majority of the fonts allowed. Moving the PDP cartridge to the left slot made the printer look to that cartridge for the fonts available before looking to the Z cartridge.
