Windows HP unidriver features click Bitmap. If your printer is a TrueType rasterizer printer, click Native TrueType to download the TrueType font as an outline font. PostScript Language Level The PostScript Language Level option specifies which PS language level to use, from 1 to 3. The highest level supported by the HP Color LaserJet 2820/2830/2840 all-in-one is 3, and this is the default setting. Some printers support multiple levels. It is usually best to select the highest number available, because a higher language level provides more features. In some instances you should use level 1, such as when you are printing a file to disk, and that file will be printed by someone who uses a level-1 printer. Send PostScript Error Handler The Send PostScript Error Handler setting specifies whether a PS error-handler message is sent. If you want the printer to print an error page when an error occurs in the print job, click Yes. The default setting is Yes. Mirrored Output This control specifies mirrored output. Click Yes to print a mirror image of your document by reversing the horizontal coordinates. The default setting is No. Printer Features The following Printer Features are available: ■ Print All Text as Black ■ Send True Type as Bitmap (HP PCL 6 Unidriver only) ■ Raster Compression (HP PCL 6 Unidriver only) Print All Text as Black The Print All Text as Black feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the driver prints all text as black regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as black, except for white text, which remains white. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor does it affect any text that is part of a graphic.Print All Text as Black remains enabled only for the current print job. When the current print job is completed, Print All Text as Black is automatically disabled. Alternatively, to print all text as black, use the black and white HP PCL 6 Unidriver This driver is installed by default, together with the color HP PCL 6 Unidriver, during a Typical Installation. Send TrueType as Bitmap (HP PCL 6 Unidriver only) Send True Type as Bitmap provides an alternative for those software programs that encounter problems when using TrueType fonts for special graphic purposes such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The setting is Disabled (off) by default. The TrueType fonts are first converted to bitmap soft fonts before downloading. The Enabled setting causes the driver to send TrueType fonts to the printer as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts. 64 Chapter 3 Windows HP unidriver features ENWW
