Description
Download as outlines
Best suited for large documents or print jobs using
multiple fonts and font sizes. Print speeds will be faster
because of the optimization features in this setting.
The repetition of similar font data sent to the printing
system will be reduced, thereby increasing the print
speed.
Print speed will not be increased when using Asian
fonts such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean,
because of the large amount of font information used
for these particular fonts.
Allow native download
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. For further details
on changing the page description language, refer to
PDL Settings
on page 2-5.
Download as bitmaps
Bitmap downloading provides more detail, however it
creates large file sizes.

•
For print jobs with very small fonts (point size
1-4), user-defined fonts, or Asian fonts.
•
For operating systems with fewer TrueType system
fonts (Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows 98 and
Millennium Edition). Non-TrueType fonts can only
be downloaded as bitmaps.
Substitute with device

System fonts and device fonts are automatically
matched based on typeface name. To match a specific
device font with a system font, select
Substitute with
device fonts
, then click
Fonts
to open the
Font
Substitution
dialog box.
Select under these circumstances:
•
To increase print speed and efficiency.
•
To change a font found throughout a large
document. This selection replaces the old font with
the desired font.
