Kyocera TASKalfa 5500i/TASKalfa 4500i manual Disable Device Fonts, Selecting Graphics Settings

Imaging

If the device font does not have similar font characteristics to the system font, character spacing in the document may appear incorrect.

Disable Device Fonts

In some cases, the printing system substitutes fonts even if you send the TrueType fonts as outline fonts or bitmap images. Select Disable device fonts to prevent substitution of device fonts for TrueType fonts.

This option also improves portability of printable data. (If cleared, device fonts may not match when sent to a different printing system.)

Some Adobe applications have device font limitations. To overcome these limitations, select Disable device fonts. Device fonts are normally visible in the application font lists as printer icons next to the font name, unless there are equivalent system fonts, in which case the “TT” TrueType icon remains.

Pattern Scaling

Pattern scaling is a feature that can help improve visual compatibility between screen and print output. Graphics objects, such as a shape or a path, often include patterns and fills that are composed of collections of printed dots. A pattern is a planned or random repetition of colors, shapes, lines, values, and textures to create a visual arrangement. A fill is the application of a color or grayscale to a graphics object. If printed patterns and fills do not match the appearance of that on the screen, use Pattern scaling to select a different density of printed dots.

In the Imaging tab, click Graphics to open the Graphics settings dialog box and access the Pattern scaling settings.

Auto (default setting)

This setting prints patterns and fills to match the on-screen appearance.
