DOCUMENT OPTIONS PARAMETERS

PAGE LAYOUT (N-UP) OPTION

Click on this option to reveal a selection box specifying how many pages of your document to print on a single piece of media. Make your selection and click OK. The default setting is Normal (one up). Note: This feature may be incompatible with some applications. For specific information, consult the driver Read Me file.

POSTSCRIPT OPTIONS

PostScript Output Option

This parameter specifies the output format for PostScript files. For everyday printing you should leave this parameter at the default of Optimize for Speed. To select other options, click on PostScript Output Option to reveal other selections at the bottom of the dialog.

•Optimize for Portability works together with the Print to File selection on your application’s print screen to let you create a

.prn file that can be transported to other workstations (on floppy disk for example) for printing on any printer. To print the file you can use the AccXES Client Tool or perform some type of manual operation, such as using the command line to perform an lpr print routine such as: lpr -P raw -S xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx A:\sample.prn [ENTER]. Note that xxx stands for the IP address of the printer.

•Encapsulated PostScript works together with the Print to File selection on your application’s print screen to let you create a file that is importable as an (EPS) image in another document to be printed from a different program.

•Archive Format works together with the Print to File selection on your application’s print screen to let you produce a .prn file containing no ppd (PostScript Printer Description) feature information.

True Type Font Download Option

This parameter specifies how TrueType fonts are downloaded. Typically this parameter should be left at the default of Automatic enabling the driver to decide which format is best. To change the setting, click on TrueType Font Download Option and make a selection from the list displayed at the bottom of the dialog.

•Click Outline to download TrueType fonts as scalable outline (PostScript Type 1) fonts. Use this option for high-resolution printers and documents using point sizes of 10 or more.

•Click Bitmap to download TrueType fonts as bitmap fonts (Type 3 or Type 32 PostScript fonts). Adobe recommends this option for low resolution printers and documents using smaller (14 point or less) type sizes.

•Click Native TrueType (Type 42) to download TrueType fonts in their native (non-PostScript-interpreted format) for printed fonts that appear as the closest representation to what your see on your screen.
