●PostScript Language Level

●Bitmap compression

●Send CTRL+D after job

PostScript Language Level

The PostScript Language Level specifies which PostScript language level to use, from 1 to the highest level that the device supports. Some devices support multiple levels. It is usually best to select the highest level that is available, because a higher language-level provides more features. In some instances, however, you would still use level 1. For example, if you are printing a file to disk and that file will be printed by someone who has a level-1 device, you would need to select level 1.

You can choose between PostScript Level 1 and PostScript Level 2 features for the HP LaserJet 5200.

Bitmap compression

Use this control to specify whether to compress graphics before sending your document to the device. If you are using PostScript level 2, or if you are using PostScript level 1 and a device connected to a serial port, click Compress bitmap images. If you are using PostScript level 1 and a device connected to a parallel port or if you are using a network device, click No bitmap compression.
