•Advanced: This option allows you to print the first page using a different paper type from the rest of the document by choosing the tray to use for printing the first page. For example, if you want to print the first page using color paper, load color paper into the MP
Tray, and plain paper into Tray 1. Then, select Tray 1. in the Source option and MP Tray in this Advanced option.
NOTE: If you click Reset, settings in the Advanced option returns to the default setting.
Scaling Options
This option allows you to automatically or manually scale your print job on a page. This option can be grayed out according to the Layout Options setting in the Basic tab.

•Download as Outline: This option allows the driver to download any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not stored (resident) on your machine. If, after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as Bit Image and resubmit your print job. This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.
•Download as Bit Image: This option allows the driver to 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. Download as Bit Image is useful when printing from Adobe programs.
•Print as Graphics: This option allows the driver to 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.
•Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.
