Click the Graphic tab to display the properties shown below..
Quality
The Resolution options you can select may vary depending on your printer model. The higher the setting, the sharper the clarity of printed characters and graphics. The higher setting also may increase the time it takes to print a document.
Color Mode
You can choose color options. Setting to Color typically produces the best possible print quality for color documents. If you want to print a color document in grayscale, select Grayscale. If you want to adjust the color options manually, select Manual and click the Color Adjust or Color Matching button.
•Color Adjust : You can adjust the appearance of images by changing the settings in the Levels option.
•Color Matching : You can adjust the appearance of images by changing the settings in the Settings option.
Advanced Options
You can set advanced settings by clicking the Advanced Options button.
•TrueType Options: This option determines what the driver tells the printer about how to image the text in your document. Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your document. This option may be available only in
Windows 9x/Me, depending on your particular printer model.
-Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If, after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful when printing Adobe. This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.
-Download as Bit Image: When this option is selected, the driver will download the font data as bitmap images. Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.
-Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this setting.
•Print All Text Black: When the Print All Text Black option is checked, all text in your document prints solid black, regardless of the color it appears on the screen.
•Darken Text: When the Darken Text option is checked, all text in your document is allowed to print darker than on a normal document. Some printers do not support this feature.
