• Download as Outline : This option allows the driver to download any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not stored

(resident) on your machine. If, after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as Bit image and resubmit your print job. This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.

• Download as Bit Image : This option allows the driver to download the font data as bitmap images. Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting. Download as bit image is useful when printing from

Adobe programs.

• Print as Graphics : This option allows the driver to download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance

(speed) may be enhanced in this setting.

Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document.

Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.

If you click Reset, settings in the Advanced option returns to the default setting.
