The Graphics Settings group box includes two options for Complex Graphics. These options

let you determine which method to use for managing memory for print jobs. Use HP MEt

(Memory Enhancement technology) is the default selection. This is the best choice unless you

are receiving printer memory error messages. If you receive such error messages, change this

setting to Use More Memory to complete the current print job. Then, change the setting back to

the default: Use HP MEt.

The Output Settings group box contains controls for selecting Resolution Enhancement

Technology (REt), Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG), Print all Text as Black, and Edge-to-Edge

Printing.

The HP LaserJet 9000 printer supports Resolution Enhancement technology (REt). The REt

feature is a default setting, but you can choose to turn it off.

The Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature is implemented to address the moiré effect created

when certain applications encounter certain patterns. This feature allows you to turn off the

pattern scaling. What you lose is WYSIWYG with patterns, but the printed result might look better.

The feature works only with programs that use vector hatch patterns. This option is on by default.

Print all Text as Black is off by default. When selected, this option will cause the driver to image

all text as black regardless of the original document text color. White text remains white. This

setting does not affect graphic images on the page. Print all Text as Black remains selected

only for the current print job. When the current print job is completed, Print all Text as Black is

automatically turned off.

Edge-to-Edge Printing is off by default. When selected, this option lets you increase the default

printable area to within 2 mm (0.08 inch) of the edge of the selected media. This setting remains

selected only for the current print job. When the current print job is completed, the Edge-to-Edge

Printing default is automatically turned off.

In the Font Settings group box, the only available option is Send TrueType as Bitmaps, which

provides a safety net for applications that have trouble using TrueType fonts for special graphic

purposes, such as shading, rotation, or slanting.
