Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) The Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature is implemented to address the moiré effect created when certain applications encounter certain patterns. Use this feature to turn off the pattern scaling. What you lose is WYSIWYG with patterns, but the printed result might look better. The feature works only with programs that use vector hatch patterns. This option is on by default. Print all Text as Black Print all Text as Black is off by default. When selected, this option causes the driver to print all text as black regardless of the original document text color. By design, however, white text remains white, as a fail-safe method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background. This setting does not affect graphic images on the page. Print all Text as Black remains selected only for the current print job. When the current print job is completed, Print all Text as Black is automatically turned off. Use the Print in Grayscale option on the Color tab to print graphic images in gray rather than color. Font Settings group box In the Font Settings group box, the only available option is Send TrueType as Bitmaps, which provides a safety net for applications that cannot easily use TrueType fonts for special graphic purposes, such as shading, rotation, or slanting.
