Encoding: (popup menu)

The default value is Binary. The other option is ASCII.

Printer Prep (popup menu)

The default value is Temporary. Other options are None, Permanent, and Interrogate. This menu determines how your printer prepares for printing PostScript files.

Permanent

The printer saves the prepared settings so that the driver does not perform the preparation again for the next printing.

Temporary

The printer does not save the prepared settings; the driver needs to perform the preparation for every printing job.

Interrogate

The printer driver asks your printer whether the driver needs to prepare or not. Preparation is performed again if the printer answers it should be performed. The prepared settings are lost after the printing.

None

The driver assumes that the printer is already prepared.

Note:

QThe best setting for the printer when you are using AppleTalk is to set this option to Permanent for the first printing and to None for all following print jobs.

CI If not all printer users are using the EpsonScript driver, set this option to Permanentand do not select Interrogate.
