Using the Other Options tab
The Other Options tab controls the remaining printer driver options not associated with a feature‑specific tab.
Note: Some options are available only on select printer models.
Use To
TrueType Fonts Determine how TrueType fonts are printed, which character set to display, and whether to send
information about printer‑resident fonts to the application.
Settings include:
• Bitmaps (each character)—This creates and sends a bitmap to the printer for each different
TrueType font character and point size in the document.
• Bitmaps (full page)—This specifies that each page of the text and graphics in a document is
saved as a bitmap and sent to the printer.
• Outlines—This creates and sends an outline to the printer for each different TrueType font
character in a document.
• Automatically select (PostScript driver only)—This allows the printer driver to select a setting
for the print job.
• Adobe Type 1 fonts (PostScript driver only)—This prints smaller TrueType fonts as bitmapped
fonts, and prints larger TrueType fonts as Adobe Type 1 outline fonts.
• Adobe Type 42 fonts (PostScript driver only)—This prints TrueType fonts as Adobe Type 42
hinted outline fonts. Compared to Adobe Type 1 outline fonts, Type 42 fonts may appear
smoother and less jagged, especially at larger point sizes.
Note: This selection is unavailable if the printer does not have a TrueType rasterizer.
Edit Job Accounting Open the Job Accounting preferences dialog and modify the Job Accounting settings that will be
associated with the print job.
Settings include:
• Keep history for last 5 entries—This retains the last five unique entries for each Job Accounting
setting. The settings are available in a drop‑down menu under each setting in the Job
Accounting dialog at print time.
• Prompt for account information at print time—This prompts the user for job accounting
information at print time.
• Do not prompt at print time. Use the following job accounting settings—This uses the Job
Accounting settings specified in the following fields:
– Use logged‑in user name—This queries the current user's Windows login ID and updates
the User Name/ID field with the retrieved information.
– User Name/ID—This is the user name or user ID associated with the print job.
– Account Code—This is the account code associated with the print job.
– Department Code—This is the department code associated with the print job.
Metafile spooling Specify the format in which to store printing information on your disk while a print job is waiting
to be printed.
• Automatic—The printer driver determines which format will result in the fastest overall print
time for each job.
• On—The printer driver spools all jobs in metafile format.
• Off—All print processor functions are disabled and the printer driver no longer spools jobs in
metafile (EMF) format.
