Imaging Outline fonts, in contrast to bitmap fonts, are defined as a set of mathematical lines and curves. An outline font is more easily scalable (designed to display and print clearly at any point size) than a bitmap font. Bitmap fonts define each character as a pattern of pixels (the smallest resolvable rectangular areas of an image). Such fonts are not easily scalable and distort when reduced or enlarged. Native fonts are the basic or original fonts installed with the computer operating system. TrueType fonts are the native fonts used by Microsoft Windows. TrueType fonts are a type of scalable outline fonts. TrueType has long been the most common format for fonts on Microsoft Windows. System fonts are the primary fonts used by the operating system. They are typically accessed through an application interface or through a common font dialog box. Device fonts are stored either permanently or temporarily in the printing system memory. Font Settings Options In the Font Settings dialog box, you can specify how TrueType fonts are sent to the printing system. The chosen method affects the speed and quality of the print job: Download as outlines This method is best suited for large documents or print jobs using multiple fonts and font sizes. Print speeds are faster because of the optimization features in this setting. The repetition of similar font data sent to the printing system is reduced, thereby increasing the print speed. Print speed is not increased when using Asian fonts such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, because of the large amount of font information used for these particular fonts. Allow native download This method improves text quality and increases print speed by converting TrueType fonts to Adobe Type 42 font format. This feature is available when KPDL is selected as the PDL. Download as bitmaps Downloading fonts as bitmaps provides more detail, however it creates large file sizes. This is best suited for print jobs with custom fonts, very small fonts (point size 1-4), or Asian fonts. Substitute with device fonts Font substitution is the process of using one font in place of another when the intended font is unavailable to a printing system. Font substitution may be critical for output of documents to printing systems that are not well supported by a large font inventory. Standard PostScript fonts are available for substitution. Note: GDI compatible mode does not support Substitute with device fonts. Disable device fonts In some cases, the printing system substitutes fonts even if you send the TrueType fonts as outline fonts or bitmap images. Select Disable device fonts to prevent substitution of device fonts for TrueType fonts. Printer Driver 8-3

Font Settings Options
In the

to the printing system. The chosen method affects the speed and quality of the
print job:
Download as outlines

Font substitution is the process of using one font in place of another when

be critical for output of documents to printing systems that are not well
supported by a large font inventory. Standard PostScript fonts are available
for substitution.

In some cases, the printing system substitutes fonts even if you send the
TrueType fonts as outline fonts or bitmap images. Select
Disable device

to prevent substitution of device fonts for TrueType fonts.
