•Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.
•Save as Form for Overlay: Select Save as Form for Overlay to save the document as a form file (C:\FORMOVER\*.FOM). Once this option is selected, the printer driver requires the file name and the destination path each time you print. If you want to preset the file name and specify the path, click on the button in the Output to area, and type the file name and specify the path.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.
