Printer Features The following Printer Features are available: ● Print All Text as Black ● Send TrueType as Bitmap (PCL 6 only) ● Raster Compression (PCL 6 only) ● Print Data Optimization (PCL 6 only) ● Alternative Letterhead Mode (PCL 6 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. Send TrueType as Bitmap (PCL 6 only) Send TrueType as Bitmap provides an alternative for those software programs that encounter problems when TrueType fonts are used 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 product as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts. Raster Compression (PCL 6 only) Use the Raster Compression feature to select the graphics compression method: ● Automatic. The software determines the best compression method to use. ● Best Quality. Forces the software to use a lossless compression method. (Lossless means that no data is lost during compression.) ● Maximum Compression. Where applicable, requires the software to always use a lossy compression method (some data is lost). Choosing this option increases the print speed performance, but does decrease print image quality. Print Data Optimization (PCL 6 only) The HP Color LaserJet CP2020 Series printer is the first to offer Print Data Optimization (also known as hybrid printing). Implementation of this feature required changes to both the software (print driver) and the printer's firmware. The benefit of this feature is that files will print faster without any degradation of print quality. Print Data Optimization is a combination of the best of Page Description Language (PDL) printing with the best of host-based printing. Print Data Optimization printing is possible only with the HP PCL 6 print driver. The Print Data Optimization feature allows the print job to use the host memory to ensure quick and high-quality printing. The print driver can be set to print like a host-based printer all the time (Optimize for Raster), a standard PCL printer all the time (Optimize for Text and Vector), or a mixture of both (Auto) depending upon the application you are printing from. By default, the feature is set to Auto. This sends data to the printer like a host-based print driver using the Optimize for Raster path for the list of applications below and HP PCL 6 print driver and HP PS Universal Print Driver for Windows ENWW Advanced tab features 171
