TrueType Text
On Windows system printers, specifies whether to plot TrueType text as a
graphic image or as text. Plotting as a graphic guarantees that the text is
printed as displayed, at the expense of slowing down the plotter and using
more memory. Plotting as TrueType text prints faster and uses less memory;
the plotter may use a different font for printing.
■
TrueType as Text: Plots TrueType text as text.
■
TrueType as Graphics: Plots TrueType text as graphics.
Vector Graphics
Provides options for specifying the color depth, resolution, and dithering
of vector output. Some of the Vector Graphics options are closely
interrelated; changing an option can affect other available options.
■
Color Depth: Displays a list for choosing color depth for the configured
plotter. The color depth options change as you change the resolution
and dithering values. More color depth uses more memory and takes
longer to plot. You can specify either color or monochrome output.
■
Resolution: Adjusts the DPI (dots per inch) resolution of the configured
plotter. Changing the DPI resolution changes the options available in
the Dithering list. A higher resolution setting uses more memory and
takes longer to plot than a lower resolution setting.
■
Dithering: Specifies a dithering choice for non-pen-based plotters. Some
dithering choices cause slower plotting.
Physical Pen Configuration Node (for Pen Plotters Only)
Controls the specific pens in the pen plotter. The lower pane of the Device
and Document Settings tab displays a table used to describe the color, width,
and speed of each pen in the plotter.
NOTE The physical pen information cannot be detected automatically; you must
provide this information for your pen plotter under Physical Pen Characteristics.
Graphics Node
Specifies settings for printing vector graphics, raster graphics, and TrueType
text. Depending on the capabilities of the plotter, you can modify color depth,
resolution, and dithering. You can select either color or monochrome output
for vector drawings. When printing raster images on a plotter with limited
memory, you can improve performance by making some changes to the quality
of the printed output. If you use a nonsystem plotter that supports varying
