Printer Features

The Printer Features setting contains the following controls:

Print All Text as Black

The feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the driver prints all text as black regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as black, except for white text, which remains white. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor does it affect any text that is part of a graphic.

Send True Type as Bitmap

Send True Type as Bitmap provides an alternative for software programs that have trouble using TrueType fonts for special graphic aspects such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The setting is Disabled (off) by default. The TrueType fonts are converted to bitmap soft fonts before downloading. The Enabled setting causes the driver to send TrueType fonts to the product as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts.

Raster Compression

Use the Raster Compression feature to select the graphics-compression method:

Automatic. The software determines the best compression method to use.

Best Quality. This option forces the software to use a lossless compression method. (Lossless means that no data is lost during compression.)

Maximum Compression. Where applicable, this option requires the software to always use a lossy compression method (some data is lost).

Print Data Optimization

When selected, this feature allows the print job to use the host memory to ensure quick and high- quality printing. The print speed increases without any print quality degradation.

When this option is selected, you must use one of the following settings:

Auto (the default setting)

Optimize for Raster

Optimize for Text and Vector

Layout Options

The Layout Options setting contains the Page Order setting.

Page Order specifies the order in which the pages of your document are printed. Front to Back prints the document so that page 1 prints first. Back to Front prints the document so that page 1 prints last.

NOTE: The page-ordering operation works on whole sheets of paper rather than on individual logical pages. Accordingly, if you set Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) to be greater than one, the ordering of logical pages on a physical sheet of paper does not change.
