Download as Outline: This option allows the driver to 
download any TrueType fonts that  are used in your document 
not stored (resident) on your machine. If, after printing a 
document, you find that the fonts did not print correctly, 
choose Download as Bit Image and resubmit your print job. 
This feature is available only  when you use the PCL printer 
driver.
- 
Download as Bit Image: This option allows the driver to 
download the font data as bi tmap images. Documents with

fonts, will print faster in this  setting. Download as bit image is 
useful when printing from Adobe programs.

Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the 
printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident 
fonts) to print your document , rather than downloading the 
fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts 
takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing 
time. When using Printer fonts,  the printer will try to match 
the fonts used in your document to those stored in its 
memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are 
very different from those resident  in the printer, your printed 
output will appear very different from what it looks like on the 
screen.

Advanced option returns to the default setting.
