Graphics: Under Images, choose from All (complete image information), Optimized Subsampling (reduced data to speed printing), Proxy (low-resolution representations of images for quick comp printing), or None (print gray boxes to represent graphic frames). Under Fonts, choose None (if fonts are resident on the RIP), Complete (to include the complete set for each font), or Subset (download only the necessary glyphs). The option to Download PPD fonts is intended to prevent font substitution for common fonts such as Times, Helvetica, and so on. Graphics Options The Send Data option allows you to choose from All (full-resolution image), Optimized Subsampling (reduced resolution, suited for the printer), Proxy (low resolution), or None (images are represented by gray boxes). Use the Optimized, Proxy, or None options only when printing comps (for example, for proofreading). Usually, you should choose All. Fonts Font download options are available for PostScript printers. Choose from Complete, Subset, or None. Use the option to Download PPD Fonts to ensure that fonts used in creating the document are used for imaging, rather than fonts resident on the imaging device. This can resolve font version conflicts for common fonts, such as Helvetica and Times. Color Management: If you are working in a color-managed environment, and are using the correct profiles for your target device, follow these steps: 1. Under Print, select Document. 2. For Color Handling, choose Let InDesign Determine Colors. 3. For Printer Profile, select the profile for the output device. 4. Under Output Color, for an RGB device (such as an inkjet printer), select Preserve RGB Numbers; for a CMYK device (such as a laser printer), select Preserve CMYK Numbers if it is not selected by default. This option determines how InDesign handles colors without a color profile, such as images without embedded profiles. In this case, InDesign sends the color numbers directly to the output device. When this option is deselected, InDesign first converts the color numbers to the color space of the output device. Preserving numbers is recommended when you are following a safe CMYK workflow (see "Using a Safe CMYK Workflow" in this section). Preserving numbers is not recommended for printing RGB documents. 5. At the bottom of the Print dialog box, click either Setup button (Windows) or Printer button (Mac OS) to access the printer driver dialog box. Turn off color management for the printer, and click Print to return to the InDesign Print dialog box. Every printer driver has different color management options. If it's not clear how to turn off color management, consult your printer documentation. Color Management Your choices in this panel will depend on the setup of your particular workflow. Here, a printer profile has been selected; consequently, color management must be turned off in the Printer settings (accessed using the Printer button at the bottom of the Print dialog box) to avoid conflicting settings. The option to Preserve CMYK Numbers ensures that untagged content is not changed. Any content tagged with a profile that differs from the target device will be converted, however. Hover over each option to read helpful information in the Description area at the bottom of the dialog box. Adobe Creative Suite 4 Printing Guide 47

3. For
Printer Profile
, select the profile for the output device.
4. Under
