document.

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 option may be available only in
Windows 9x/Me, depending on your particular printer
model.
-
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 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.
-
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.
•
Print All Text To Black
:
When the
Print All Text To Black
option
is checked, all text in your document prints solid black,
regardless of the color it appears on the screen.
•
Print All Text To Darken
:
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.
Some printers do not
support this feature.
