Imaging Graphics This option also improves portability of printable data. (If cleared, device fonts may not match when sent to a different printing system.) Some Adobe applications have device font limitations. To overcome these limitations, select Disable device fonts. Device fonts are normally visible in the application font lists as printer icons next to the font name, unless there are equivalent system fonts, in which case the "TT" TrueType icon remains. Disabling Device Fonts To disable device fonts, follow these steps. 1 In the Imaging tab, click Fonts. 2 In the Fonts Settings dialog box, select the Disable device fonts check box. 3 Click OK to save your settings. Graphics are pictorial representations of information. Graphics can be functional (charts, diagrams) or artistic (drawings, photographs). Graphics Settings let you select options for your printed graphics. Note: Some options are available only when a specific PDL is selected. Selecting Graphics Settings 1 In the Imaging tab, click Graphics to open the Graphics Settings dialog box. 2 In the dialog box, select from available options, and then click OK to save your selections. Pattern Scaling Pattern scaling is a feature that can help improve visual compatibility between screen and print output. Graphics objects, such as a shape or a path, often include patterns and fills that are composed of collections of printed dots. A pattern is a planned or random repetition of colors, shapes, lines, values, and textures to create a visual arrangement. A fill is the application of a color or grayscale to a graphics object. If printed patterns and fills do not match the appearance of that on the screen, use Pattern scaling to select a different density of printed dots. In the Imaging tab, click Graphics to open the Graphics settings dialog box and access the Pattern scaling settings. Auto (default setting) This setting prints patterns and fills to match the on-screen appearance. Coarse This setting prints patterns and fills with the fewest number of lines, patterns, or dots. Coarse is the same as Auto when PCL XL or PCL 5e is selected in Device Settings > PDL > Select PDL. Medium 7-4 User Guide
