Working with global resource identifiers

InfoPrint can identify the fonts required for a job, access AFP font files that are installed on or NFS-mounted to your Windows system, and download the appropriate fonts to an InfoPrint-managed printer device. However, some InfoPrint printers can use fonts that are resident in the printer, which saves the time it takes to download these fonts. Because the font files on the Windows system do not share the same names as the printer-resident fonts, InfoPrint uses global resource identifiers (GRIDs) to map the system-resident fonts to the printer-resident fonts.
