Trapping Font Settings
In color printing, color toners are applied separately to a page. A color image has its component colors applied in color separations of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. These color separations must be aligned (registered) precisely to produce a quality full color image. During printing, the paper or media type may shift slightly. While the shift might be very small, the gaps between the colors in the image can be noticeable. Color trapping corrects it by overlapping colors slightly so that minor alignment issues are corrected.
Note:
Trapping is unavailable when
PCL 5c

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.

Some Adobe applications have device font limitations. To overcome these limitations, select

Pattern Scaling
Pattern scaling
is a feature that can help improve visual compatibility between screen and print output. Graphics objects, such as a shape or a path, often include patterns and fills that are composed of collections of printed dots. A pattern is a planned or random repetition of colors, shapes, lines, values, and textures to create a visual arrangement. A fill is the application of a color or grayscale to a graphics object. If printed patterns and fills do not match the appearance of that on the screen, use

Color Correction
appears with the following options: dialog box
None (application corrected)
With this option, color data processes without applying the adjustments contained in the printing system's internal color lookup tables. Ink simulation will not be executed. This is useful if the application provides its own color correction.
ICM (system corrected)
This option specifies color rendering in the print job to make it as close to the original as possible. ICM technology relies upon associating an output device like a printing system with a Color Profile. An ICM Profile for a printing system contains information about rendering accurate color information for that device. The settings for ICM must be set in the Color Management tab in the printing system Properties.
If you select the

option, click

Select an option, then click

Optimize for exact color (colorimetric)
This option is for matching colors precisely in all print jobs, such as colors in a corporate logo.
Optimize for color contrast (best for images)
This option optimizes for color contrast by adjusting contrast to preserve detail throughout the tonal range. Select it for images or scanned photographs containing many colors or shades of color.
Optimize for color saturation (best for graphs)
This option optimizes for color saturation by adjusting hue to preserve the vividness of pure colors. Select for graphs or charts containing solid colors.

With the

For models that support it, a notable security watermark feature is the
Document guard
pattern, which prevents the document from being photocopied, scanned, faxed, or printed from memory. If a scan, fax, or print from memory is attempted, the process is stopped and a message appears on the printing system's operation panel.
For a security watermark to be effective, it must be nearly invisible in a printed page and clearly visible in a photocopied page. Because printing systems and driver settings can vary, you must adjust the density and contrast before printing a security watermark. This adjustment is also recommended when changing the background pattern, replacing the toner or printing system, and after heavy printing activity.

EMF Spooling
EMF (Enhanced MetaFile) is a spool file format used in printing by the Microsoft Windows operating system. When a print job is sent from an application, it is transferred to the spool file. The application writes to and the printer driver reads from the spool file simultaneously. For multiple or large documents, this quickly returns application control to the user while the printer is still printing the document.
