Imaging

This method improves text quality and increases print speed by converting TrueType fonts to Adobe Type 42 font format. This feature is available when KPDL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box.

Download as bitmaps

Downloading fonts as bitmaps provides more detail, however it creates large file sizes. This is best suited for print jobs with custom fonts, very small fonts (point size 1-4), or Asian fonts.

Substitute with device fonts

System fonts and device fonts are automatically matched based on typeface name. This function increases print speed and efficiency. It is useful for changing a font used throughout a large document, by replacing the old font with the desired font.

Note: GDI compatible mode does not support Substitute with device fonts.
