Printer Drivers
TrueType Options
In the printer driver, you can select one of the following options associated with the use
and printing of TrueType fonts:
■
Download as TrueType
(default)
The whole character set for each TrueType font contained on the page is sent down to
the printer in an outline form. Use this option if the document uses only a small
number of TrueType fonts and you want to optimize text-printing performance.
■
Download as Bit Image
Each TrueType character is sent as an individual bitmap download font on a
least-recently-used basis. As the printer driver builds up the page, new font bitmaps
are sent down. When a character is used again, the bitmap is automatically selected
from the one previously downloaded to printer memory. From the memory setting,
the driver monitors the amount of available memory to determine when to delete font
bitmaps that have not been used for some time.
■
Download as graphics and device fonts
This option is useful if you want to print graphic images over TrueType text. Unless
you select this option, TrueType text is sent to the printer last, so it always appears on
top of any graphics. Selecting this option sends your TrueType images to the printer
as graphic images, so the text can be obscured by graphic objects.
■
Use Printer TrueType fonts
Specifies whether to use the TrueType fonts that reside on the printer or to download
TrueType fonts from the computer. If enabled (the default setting), the driver uses the
TrueType fonts resident on the printer, and if your document uses fonts that do not
reside on the printer, the driver downloads the fonts with the job. If disabled, the
driver always downloads TrueType fonts to the printer with each job, even if the fonts
reside on the printer already.
