Graphics Settings group box The Graphics Settings group box in the HP traditional PCL 6 driver has settings under Raster Compression for compressing graphics. The following options are available in the Raster Compression: drop-down menu: • Automatic. This is the default setting. When this option is selected, the printer driver determines the best compression method to use. • Best Quality. This setting forces the driver to use a compression method that results in no loss of data during compression. • Maximum Compression. Where applicable, this setting requires the printer driver to use a compression method that maximizes compression. This setting can result in a loss of quality in the printed output. Output Settings The Output Settings group box contains controls for selecting resolution and other print-job settings, including pattern scaling and printing all text as black. For the HP LaserJet 6 driver, the Default values for output settings are as follows: • Resolution is 600 dpi • Raster Compression is set to Automatic • Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) is selected • Print all Text as Black is not selected • Send TrueType as Bitmaps is not selected Resolution There is a single Resolution: setting for the HP traditional PCL 6 driver, 600 dpi. "Resolution" refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi) used to print the page. Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) Use theScale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature to address the moiré effect created when certain programs 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 The Print all Text as Black feature 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, white text remains white as a reliable 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. Font Settings group box In the Font Settings group box, the only available option is Send TrueType as Bitmaps, which provides an alternative for software programs that cannot easily use TrueType (TM) fonts for special graphic purposes, such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The Send TrueType as Bitmaps check box is not selected by default. If you select this option, the driver sends TrueType fonts to the printer as outlines, which retains the standard format (outlines) of the fonts.
