Understanding the Universal Print Driver 47 Understanding the Other Options tab The Other Options tab determines the print driver settings that are not associated with a feature‑specific tab. Note: Some settings are available only in some printer models. Use TrueType Fonts Image Compression To Determine how TrueType fonts are printed, which character set to show, and whether to send information about printer‑resident fonts to the application. • Bitmaps (each character)-Create and send a bitmap to the printer for each different TrueType font character and point size in the document. • Bitmaps (full page)-Specify whether each page of the text and graphics in a document is saved as a bitmap and sent to the printer. • Outlines-Create and send an outline to the printer for each different TrueType font character in a document. • Automatically select-Let the print driver select a setting for the print job. This setting is available only in PostScript print driver. • Adobe Type 1 fonts-Print smaller TrueType fonts as bitmapped fonts, and print larger TrueType fonts as Adobe Type 1 outline fonts. This setting is available only in PostScript print driver. • Adobe Type 42 fonts-Print TrueType fonts as Adobe Type 42 hinted outline fonts. Compared to Adobe Type 1 outline fonts, Type 42 fonts may appear smoother and less jagged, especially at larger point sizes. This setting is available only in the PostScript print driver. Note: This setting is available only if the printer supports a TrueType rasterizer. Reduce the file size of print jobs that contain images. Reducing the file size improves printing performance. Note: This feature is available only in PCL XL emulation, Host‑based Printing (HBP), and PostScript print drivers. For PCL XL emulation print drivers, select Enable Image Compression, and then use the Quality slider to adjust the image quality and compression level. Increasing the image quality decreases image compression. For PostScript print drivers, select how you want the images to be compressed. • NONE-Disable image compression. • Lossless-Use Lempel‑Ziv‑Welch (LZW) compression to reduce file size without reducing image quality. Sometimes, the image may not be compressed to retain image quality. • High-Use JPEG compression to reduce file size by reducing image quality. To adjust the image quality and compression level, use the Quality slider. Increasing the image quality decreases image compression.

Understanding the Other Options tab
The Other Options tab determines the print driver settings that are not associated with a feature
‑
specific tab.
Note:
Some settings are available only in some printer models.
Use
To
TrueType Fonts
Determine how TrueType fonts are printed, which character set to show, and whether to
send information about printer
‑
resident fonts to the application.
•
Bitmaps (each character)
—Create and send a bitmap to the printer for each different
TrueType font character and point size in the document.
•
Bitmaps (full page)
—Specify whether each page of the text and graphics in a document
is saved as a bitmap and sent to the printer.
•
Outlines
—Create and send an outline to the printer for each different TrueType font
character in a document.
•
Automatically select
—Let the print driver select a setting for the print job. This setting
is available only in PostScript print driver.
•
Adobe Type 1 fonts
—Print smaller TrueType fonts as bitmapped fonts, and print larger
TrueType fonts as Adobe Type 1 outline fonts. This setting is available only in PostScript
print driver.
•
Adobe Type 42 fonts
—Print TrueType fonts as Adobe Type 42 hinted outline fonts.
Compared to Adobe Type 1 outline fonts, Type 42 fonts may appear smoother and less
jagged, especially at larger point sizes. This setting is available only in the PostScript
print driver.
Note:
This setting is available only if the printer supports a TrueType rasterizer.
Image Compression
Reduce the file size of print jobs that contain images. Reducing the file size improves
printing performance.
Note:
This feature is available only in PCL XL emulation, Host
‑
based Printing (HBP), and
PostScript print drivers.
For PCL XL emulation print drivers, select
Enable Image Compression
, and then use the
Quality slider to adjust the image quality and compression level. Increasing the image
quality decreases image compression.
For PostScript print drivers, select how you want the images to be compressed.
•
NONE
—Disable image compression.
•
Lossless
—Use Lempel
‑
Ziv
‑
Welch (LZW) compression to reduce file size without
reducing image quality. Sometimes, the image may not be compressed to retain image
quality.
•
High
—Use JPEG compression to reduce file size by reducing image quality. To adjust
the image quality and compression level, use the Quality slider. Increasing the image
quality decreases image compression.
