Note
The Use PostScript Level 2 Features option affects the print
time of bitmapped (raster) images by improving the image
transfer time from the computer to the printer, and by improving
the image processing time in the printer. This option is only
available to applications that use this Tektronix driver with
Tektronix PostScript Level 2 printers, such as the Phaser 380
printer. When this box is checked, the Compress Bitmaps
option is unavailable (grayed-out).
