Option Description

Download as outlines Best suited for large documents or print jobs using

multiple fonts and font sizes. Print speeds will be

faster because of the optimization features in this

setting. The repetition of similar font data sent to the

printing system will be reduced, thereby increasing

the print speed.

Print speed will not be 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 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. For further

details on changing the page description language,

refer to PDL Settings on page 2-6.

Download as bitmaps Bitmap downloading provides more detail, however

it creates large file sizes.

Select under these circumstances:

• For print jobs with very small fonts (point size

1-4), user-defined fonts, or Asian fonts.

• For operating systems with fewer TrueType

system fonts (Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows

98 and Millennium Edition). Non-TrueType fonts

can only be downloaded as bitmaps.
