With this feature, an administrator can provide job restriction by user, in contrast to the

Job accounting

feature, which assigns privileges by division or department. A maximum of 1000 login user names and passwords can be created and stored in the printer driver and registered on the printing system.

Users are identified by user name and password. The user name can be in the user principal name UPN format: [email protected]. This feature limits printing privileges to specified users for secure printing and accounting. The number of pages printed by each user is tracked by the printing system.

Users added in the printer driver must also be manually registered at the printing system’s operation panel.

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.

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 fonts

Substitute with device 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

to prevent substitution of device fonts for TrueType fonts.

This option also improves portability of printable data. If cleared, device fonts may not match when sent to a different printing system.

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

Pattern scaling

Security Watermark

With the

Security Watermark

plug-in, you can print a nearly invisible image or text against a background pattern. The security watermark appears only when the printed page is photocopied. This helps to identify printed pages that should not be photocopied, or to distinguish between original prints and photocopies.

Six standard security watermarks are available as text or image, and you can create custom security watermark text.

The

Optional Components Wizard Security Watermark

offers the opportunity to install the plug-in following installation of the printer driver.

is available in the

tab when

is Any security watermark can be edited, though a limited number of options can be changed for default security watermarks.

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.
