In color printing, color inks or 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.
To use trapping in a document, select a value for the print overlap pixel width:
Light
, 0.5 pixel trapping;
Medium
, 1 pixel trapping;
Heavy
, 1.5 pixels trapping;
Very Heavy
, 2 pixels trapping.
Note:
Trapping is not available when

Gloss Mode
Gloss mode simulates high-gloss copies by adding a glossy appearance to printed text and images.

Fonts
A computer font is a data file containing a set of glyphs (visual representations of textual elements), characters, or symbols. Common terms for fonts are:
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
The
Font Settings dialog box lets you 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 in the
PDL Settings dialog box.
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
System fonts and device fonts are automatically matched based on typeface name. This function increases print speed and efficiency. It is useful for changing a font used throughout a large document, by replacing the old font with the desired font.
Note: GDI compatible mode does not support
Substitute with device fonts
.

Font Substitution
Font substitution is the process of using one font in place of another when the intended font is not available 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.

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.
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 to select a different density of printed dots.
In the
Imaging tab, click
Graphics to open the
Graphics settings dialog box and access the
Pattern scaling settings.
Auto
(default setting)
This setting prints patterns and fills to match the on-screen appearance.
Coarse
This setting prints patterns and fills with the fewest number of lines, patterns, or dots. Coarse is the same as Auto when
PCL XL or
PCL 5c is selected in the
PDL Settings dialog box.
Medium
This setting prints patterns and fills with a greater number of lines, patterns or dots than the Coarse setting. Medium is the same as Auto when
KPDL is selected in the
PDL Settings dialog box.
Fine
This setting prints patterns and fills with the greatest number of lines, patterns, or dots. Printed patterns and fills may appear more dense than the on-screen appearance.
Inversion Settings
Inversion is the opposite of the normal order, arrangement, or position of an image or printed content.

CIE Optimization
CIE optimization bypasses the normal procedure of processing every aspect of the CIE color space used in applications such as Adobe Acrobat and
Photoshop. This feature increases print speed for documents printed from these applications by optimizing CIE data. It has no effect on print jobs that do not use
CIE data.
CIE optimization should be selected for speed not accuracy, so printed output may be different from appearance on the screen.

Color Correction dialog box appears with the following options:
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
None (application corrected) option, click

Private Print
Private print jobs are saved in RAM disk memory for printing until a four-digit
Access code is entered. When the RAM disk reaches maximum capacity and a new job is sent to be stored, the oldest stored job is replaced by the new job.
Private print jobs are deleted when the printing system is reset or turned off.
When sending a sensitive document to the printing system, a user must type a four-digit access code, which is attached to the print job along with the
Job name and
User name
. The job is not printed until a user enters the access code at the printing system’s operation panel. After the job is printed, it is removed from printing system memory.

Overwrite job name is an option to ensure that a saved print job is not replaced in printing system memory by a new job having the same
Job name
. If a user sends two print jobs with the same
User name and
Job name
, the second job replaces the first job without any prompt. To prevent this,
Overwrite job name can automatically change the
Job name by adding the date and time the job is sent. This feature also helps you to track when print jobs were sent from the computer.
The selected option applies to a
Job name with either
Application defined or
Custom selected.
Overwrite job name options include:
Replace existing file
This option lets the current print job replace an existing job in printing system memory, if a job with the same
User name and
Job name exists.
Use job name + date and time
This option adds the current date and time to the end of the
Job name
, in the format:
9-3
