You can also specify that EpsonScript convert TrueType fonts to bitmaps before printing them. Converting TrueType fonts to bitmaps saves some printing time when you are printing documents that contain a lot of bitmap graphics and only a few TrueType fonts.

Specifying memory usage

You may encounter printer memory problems when printing large documents that contain many downloaded fonts. To resolve memory problems, EpsonScript provides two options so you can specify memory usage:

Virtual Memory. This option increases the amount of virtual memory your printer has available for storing fonts.

Clear Memory per Page. This option clears all downloaded fonts from printer memory after each job is printed. This frees up memory for the next print job.

Graphics settings

EpsonScript allows you to specify the following graphics settings:

Resolution. Can be 300 or 600 dpi. The higher resolution of 600 dpi produces the sharpest images. However, if you are encountering printer memory problems, reduce the resolution to 300 dpi.

Halftone Frequency. Specifies the line screen. The value you select here depends on the resolution of your image and the resolution capability of the output device. If you are using 600 dpi, increase the halftone frequency (line screen) to at least 110. For 300-dpi output, an 85-line screen is usually sufficient.
