This section contains explanations on the basic functions of the Printer Drivers supplied for this printer when operating underWindows 95. These explanations were written with the assumption that the desired Printer Driver has already been installed inyour computer.* There are 3 PDLs (Printer Description Languages) compatible for use with this printer: PCL5e, PCL6 and PS, and each has itsown Printer Driver. Thus, depending upon which PDL you are actually using, the explanations, settings and illustrations shown inthis manual may differ slightly from what will actually appear on your computer screen.

1-1 Opening the Properties dialog box1. Start up Windows 95.

2. Click on Start in the Task Bar. The Start menu will be displayed.

3. Use the mouse to point to Settings and click on Printers in the submenu that is displayed. The Printers folder will open.

4. Use the right mouse button to click on the icon that corresponds to both this printer and the appropriate PDL. A pop-up menuwill be displayed.

1-9 Fonts tab (for PS Printer Driver only)

A Send TrueType fonts to printer according to the font Substitution Table radio button: It is possible to use theSubstitution dialog box to instruct the Printer Driver which PostScript printer fonts to use in place of which TrueType fonts. If this radio button is selected, ALL TrueType fonts will be replaced by PostScript printer fonts as specified in that dialog boxand this will result in faster printing. To select which printer fonts to use in place of which TrueType fonts, click on Edit theTable… and refer to “2 Substitution dialog box”, page 15.By default, each TrueType font will be replaced by the printer font that resembles it most, but, when there is no similarPostScript font, the TrueType font will be sent to the printer in the format specified in the Send TrueType fonts as field of theSend Fonts As… dialog box. To open the Send Fonts As… dialog box, click on Send Fonts As… and refer to “1 SendFonts As… dialog box”, page 14.* If the wrong printer font is selected for any TrueType font, the printed document will not appear as it does on your computer

screen.B Always use built-in printer fonts instead of TrueType fonts radio button: If this radio button is selected, the Printer Driver

will ignore the settings made in the Substitution dialog box and will use standard font-matching rules to find the bestPostScript printer fonts to use in place of the TrueType fonts in the document. In this case, no TrueType fonts will be sent tothe printer. This will result in faster printing, but printed text will not appear as it does on your computer screen.

C Always use TrueType fonts radio button: If this radio button is selected, any TrueType fonts in the document will be sent tothe printer. In this case, printed text will appear just as it does on your computer screen, but printing time will be increased.TrueType fonts will be sent to the printer in the format specified in the Send TrueType fonts as field of the Send Fonts As…dialog box.

(However, all smaller point sizes will

automatically be sent as bitmap data.)• Bitmaps: This option will send bitmaps, most appropriate for smaller point sizes.• Don’t Send: If this option is selected, no TrueType fonts will be sent to the printer. This option is most appropriate when

sending data to the printer through a print spooler.B Threshold size field: Displays the size of the font (in pixels) at which the Printer Driver should switch from sending a TrueType

font as an outline to sending it as bitmap data. The most effective size to enter here will vary depending upon the complexity ofthe font. For example, at 600 dpi it is more effective to send TrueType fonts as outlines when non-ornamental fonts are about14 points or larger. Enter “0” here if you ALWAYS want outline fonts to be sent.

C Favor system TrueType fonts over printer fonts check box: Enables selection of whether to use system TrueType fonts insteadof PostScript printer fonts when the same font is found in both the computer and the printer.

2-9 Fonts tab (for PS Printer Driver only)

A Send TrueType fonts to printer according to the font Substitution Table radio button: It is possible to use the FontSubstitution Table in the Device Settings tab to instruct the Printer Driver which PostScript printer fonts to use in place ofwhich TrueType fonts. If this radio button is selected, ALL TrueType fonts will be replaced by PostScript printer fonts asspecified in that dialog box and this will result in faster printing. To select which printer fonts to use in place of which TrueTypefonts, refer to “2-11 Device Settings tab”, page 30, and perform the appropriate settings under the Font Substitution Table.By default, each TrueType font will be replaced by the printer font that resembles it most, but, when there is no similarPostScript font, the TrueType font will be sent to the printer in the format specified in the Send TrueType fonts as field of theSend Fonts As… dialog box. To open the Send Fonts As… dialog box, click on Send Fonts As… and refer to “● SendFonts As… dialog box”, page 28.* If the wrong printer font is selected for any TrueType font, the printed document will not appear as it does on your computer

screen.B Always use built-in printer fonts instead of TrueType fonts radio button: If this radio button is selected, the Printer Driver

will ignore the settings made under the Font Substitution Table in the Device Settings tab and will use standard font-matching rules to find the best PostScript printer fonts to use in place of the TrueType fonts in the document. In this case, noTrueType fonts will be sent to the printer. This will result in faster printing, but printed text will not appear as it does on yourcomputer screen.

C Always use TrueType fonts radio button: If this radio button is selected, any TrueType fonts in the document will be sent tothe printer. In this case, printed text will appear just as it does on your computer screen, but printing time will be increased.TrueType fonts will be sent to the printer in the format specified in the Send TrueType fonts as field of the Send Fonts As…dialog box.

(However, all smaller point sizes will

automatically be sent as bitmap data.)• Bitmaps: This option will send bitmaps, most appropriate for smaller point sizes.• Don’t Send: If this option is selected, no TrueType fonts will be sent to the printer. This option is most appropriate when

sending data to the printer through a print spooler.B Threshold size field: Displays the size of the font (in pixels) at which the Printer Driver should switch from sending a TrueType

font as an outline to sending it as bitmap data. The most effective size to enter here will vary depending upon the complexity ofthe font. For example, at 600 dpi it is more effective to send TrueType fonts as outlines when non-ornamental fonts are about14 points or larger. Enter “0” here if you ALWAYS want outline fonts to be sent.

C Favor system TrueType fonts over printer fonts check box: Enables selection of whether to use system TrueType fonts insteadof PostScript printer fonts when the same font is found in both the computer and the printer.
