HP traditional drivers ■ Send Graphics as Raster. Select this setting to send all graphics to the product as images composed of individual dots. This setting might improve printing speed in some cases. ■ Send Page as Raster. Select this setting to send all graphics and text (TrueType fonts) to the product as images composed of individual dots. Use Send Page as Raster if you are experiencing problems with overlapping text and graphics. With this setting, the Send TrueType as Bitmaps option has no effect. Output Settings The Output Settings group box contains controls for resolution, pattern scaling, and to print all text as black. The default values for the Output Settings are as follows: ■ Resolution: 300 dpi is selected ■ Resolution Enhancement Technology (REt) is On ■ Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) is selected ■ Print all Text as Black is not selected Resolution Resolution refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi) used to print the page. As resolution is increased, the quality (clarity and visual appeal) of print on the page is improved. However, higher resolution may also result in longer printing times. The following resolution options are available in the HP Traditional PCL 5 driver for the HP LaserJet 4345mfp: ■ 300 dpi ■ 600 dpi Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) REt refines the print quality of characters by smoothing out jagged edges that can occur on the angles and curves of a printed image. It is On by default. Select Off if graphics, particularly scanned images, are not printing clearly. Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) Use the Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature to address the moiré effect that is 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 selected by default. Print all Text as Black The Print All Text as Black feature is not selected by default. When the feature 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. HP traditional PCL 6 and HP traditional PCL 5 driver features 109
