Using the PCL Driver
Chapter 3: Printing ❖ 3-17
• Print Colored Text to Black
This option determines how the driver will print any
colored text in the document. If enabled, the driver
renders all text into black, no matter what color it
appears on the screen. Otherwise the driver renders
colored text in different shades of gray (the default
setting).
TrueType Options
Allows you to select options associated with the use and
printing of TrueType fonts. The options are:
• Download as TrueType (the default)
The whole character set for each TrueType font
contained on the page is sent down to the printer in an
outline form. Use this option if the document uses
only a small number of TrueType fonts and you wish
to optimize text-printing performance.
• Download as Bit Image
Each TrueType character will be sent as an individual
bitmap download font on a least-recently-used basis.
As the printer driver builds up the page, new font
bitmaps are sent down. When a character is used
again, the bitmap is automatically selected from the
one previously downloaded to printer memory. From
the memory setting, the driver monitors the amount
of available memory to determine when to delete font
bitmaps that have not been used for some time.
