Print Options
This option determines how the driver tells 
the machine to image the text in your 
document. Select the appropriate setting 
according to the status of your document. 
•
Print Page as Graphics: When this 
option is selected, the driver will 
download any TrueType fonts that are 
used in your document that are not 
already stored (resident) in your 
machine. If, after printing a document, 
you find that the fonts did not print 
correctly, choose 
Print Text as 
Bitmap
 and resubmit your print job. 
The 
Print Text as Bitmap setting is 
often useful when printing Adobe.
•
Print Text as Bitmap: When this 
option is selected, the driver downloads 
the font data as bitmap images. 
Documents with complicated fonts, such 
as Korean or Chinese, or various other 
types of fonts, print faster in this 
setting.

solid black, regardless of the color it 
appears on the screen. When this option is
