Working with Fonts In Windows

FEATURES
PostScript Header
You can control whether the driver sends a PostScript header
with each document. If the printer is shared on a network,
this option should not be used. However, if you are on a local
printer, you can save time by sending the header just once to
the printer, where it is retained and printed with each job.
Error Handling
You can send an error handler with each print job. Then, if an
error occurs, the printer prints a page with a message
describing the nature of the error. You or a technician can use
this information to diagnose the problem.
PostScript Timeout Values
These settings define timeout periods allowed when the
driver communicates with the printer. Enter a value from 0 to
999 seconds (32,767 seconds for NT). When zero is entered,
the printer will wait indefinitely. If you printer is shared, do
not specify a value of zero.
Job Timeout:
This is the maximum number of seconds
the printer can take to print a single job. If the print job
takes more time to print than the timeout value, the
printer may stop printing and prepare to receive a new
document.
Wait Timeout:
This is the maximum number of seconds
the printer will wait for data from the computer. While
receiving a print job, the printer driver may pause to
build a PostScript language description of each page. For
complicated pages, which take longer to build, you may
need to set a higher wait time.
Advanced Options
Advanced options allow you to optimize printer
performance, but generally should not be changed unless
you have specific reasons to do so. Use the driver Online
Help feature for more information on these settings.
Device Options
You can use settings on the Device Options to match the
attached printer configuration so that the printer driver can
generate optimized PostScript code.
Available printer memory
Set this to match the amount of memory you have installed in
the printer.
Available font cache
The driver automatically adjusts the font cache size based on
installed memory. Increase this amount for better
performance of Type 32 bitmap fonts.
Installable options
Use this area to change the settings to match the printer’s
hardware setup when you add options to the printer,
including Tray 2, or more RAM memory.

INDOWS
Under most conditions your documents will print out well
without any adjustment to font settings in your printer
drivers. The Windows printer drivers have settings for
specifying how TrueType fonts in your document are
matched to PostScript fonts in the printer. You may want to
adjust these if your documents take a long time to print or the
quality of the font is not satisfactory. Font settings vary
slightly on the Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98, and Windows
NT 4.0 printer drivers.

Send TrueType fonts to printer according to the font
Substitution Table
Instead of downloading all TrueType fonts to the printer, this
selection substitutes PostScript fonts resident in the printer
for the TrueType fonts used in the document according to a
table you define.
Using the Substitution Table
The substitution utility allows you to view or edit which
fonts in the printer should be substituted for the TrueType
fonts in your document. Using resident printer fonts speeds
printing.
Always use built-in printer fonts instead of TrueType
fonts
Select this feature and the printer substitutes its closest
