Always spool RAW datatype
To enable NT-based clients spool documents to use the RAW format instead of the EMF
(metafile) format, select the
Always Spool Raw datatype
check box (Windows NT-based
applications use the EMF format by default).
Try using this option if documents spooled in the EMF format do not print correctly.
Depending on the data to print, spooling RAW datatype requires fewer resources than
EMF, so some problems (“Insufficient Memory/Disk Space to Print”, “Slow print speed”,
etc) can be solved by selecting this option.
Note:
When you spool RAW datatype, the print progress as displayed by the Progress Meter may differ
from the actual printing progress.
Page Rendering Mode
Use this function when the print speed is extremely slow or when the print head stops for a
few minutes while printing. When this check box is selected, the print speed may improve
by rendering as page.
However, the following problems may occur.
❏
Print progress displayed in the Progress Meter window may differ from the actual print
progress.
❏
Printing may take a longer time to start.
Coarse Rendering
Use this function if the output length (number of pixels) is limited by the application. Longer
print output is made possible by reducing the resolution to restrict the number of pixels to
within the application’s limit.
Print as Bitmap
Use this function when the print speed is extremely slow or when the print head stops for a
few minutes while printing. Try this option if Always spool RAW datatype and Page
Rendering Mode do not solve the problem.
