Quality
The Quality options you can select may vary depending
on your printer model.
The higher the setting, the sharper the
clarity of printed characters and graphics. The higher setting also
may increase the time it takes to print a document.

typically produces
the best possible print quality for color documents. If you want to
print a color document in grayscale, select
Grayscale
. If you
want to adjust the color options manually, select
Manual
and
click the
Color Adjust
or
Color Matching
button.

copies in grayscale.

Raster Compression
: This option determines the

This feature is available only when you use the PCL 6
printer driver.

TrueType Options
:
This option determines what the driver
tells the printer about how to image the text in your document.
Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your
document.
This feature is available only when you use
the PCL 6 printer driver.
-
Download as Outline
: When this option is selected, the
driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your
document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If,
after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print
correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your
print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful
when printing Adobe.
This feature is available only
when you use the PCL 6 printer driver.
-
Download as Bitmap
: When this option is selected, the
driver will download the font data as bitmap images.
Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or
Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this
setting.
This feature is available only when you use
the PCL 6 printer driver.
-
Print as Graphics
:
When this option is selected, the driver
will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents
with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts,
printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this
setting.
This feature is available only when you use
the PCL 6 printer driver.

Print all text in black

option
is checked, all text in your document prints solid black,
regardless of the color it appears on the screen.

When the
Print All Text To
Darken
option is checked, all text in your document is allowed
to print darker than on a normal document.
