Color Printing Mode
Color Printing Mode specifies whether to print in Black and White or color. Use
Monochrome mode to sharpen details in graphics or to speed up the printing of your color
document.
Print Optimizations
Print Optimization settings are available only in the HP PCL 6 and HP PCL 5c unidrivers.
They are not available in the PS Emulation Unidriver.
The default setting for Print Optimizations is Enabled. When this feature is enabled and
your document contains overlapping text and graphics, text placed on top of a graphic might
not print correctly. If the printed output is not correct, you can disable this feature. When
disabled, print optimization features, such as substituting device fonts for TrueType fonts
and scanning for horizontal and vertical rules, are turned off.
Printer Features
The following Printer Features are available:
● Print All Text as Black
● Send True Type as Bitmap (HP PCL 6 and HP PCL 5c unidrivers only)
● Raster Compression
Print All Text as Black
The Print All Text as Black feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the
driver prints all text as black regardless of the original document text color. Color text is
printed as black, except for white text, which remains white. (White text is a reliable method
of printing reverse typeface against a dark background.) This setting does not affect graphic
images on the page, nor does it affect any text that is part of a graphic.
Send TrueType as Bitmap
The Send TrueType as Bitmap option is available only in the HP PCL 6 and HP PCL 5c
unidrivers. It is not available in the PS Emulation Unidriver.
Send True Type as Bitmap provides an alternative for those software programs that have
trouble using TrueType fonts for special graphic purposes such as shading, rotation, or
slanting. The setting is Disabled (off) by default. The TrueType fonts are first converted to
bitmap soft fonts before downloading. The Enabled setting causes the driver to send
TrueType fonts to the printer as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the
fonts.
Raster Compression
The Raster Compression option is available only in the HP PCL 6 and HP PS Emulation
unidrivers. It is not available in the HP PCL 5c Unidriver.
