You can fine-tune print jobs to ensure print quality. Because problems sometimes occur when you are printing text to a non-PostScript printing device (GDI printer), you can decrease printing time by specifying driver compatibility for non-PostScript printing devices. For more information, see Printing colors accurately.
If a printing device has difficulty processing large bitmaps, you can divide a bitmap into smaller, more manageable chunks by setting an output threshold. If any lines appear when the printing device prints the chunks, you can set an overlap value to produce a seamless image.
On occasion, you may experience difficulties with printing complex files. To print complex files, you may need to spend a considerable amount of time fixing and correcting the files. Another option is to convert a page to a bitmap, also known as rasterizing, which can allow you to print complex files more easily.
To reduce file size, you can downsample bitmaps. Because bitmaps are made up of pixels, when you downsample a bitmap, the number of pixels per line decreases, which decreases the file size.
| To specify driver compatibility settings | |
1. |
Click Tools  Options.
|
2. |
In the list of categories, double-click Global, double-click Printing, and click
Driver compatibility.
|
3. |
Choose a non-PostScript printing device from the Printer list box.
|
4. |
Enable any of the check boxes that correspond to the settings that you want to
specify.
|
| To choose a threshold and chunk overlap | |
1. |
Click Tools Options.
|
2. |
In the list of categories, double-click Global, and click Printing.
|
3. |
From the Special settings list, choose one of the following:
|
• |
Bitmap output threshold (K)
|
• |
Bitmap chunk overlap pixels
|
4. |
Choose a value from the Setting list box.
|
| To print as a bitmap | |
1. |
Click File Print.
|
2. |
On the General tab, enable the Print as bitmap check box, and type a number in
the dpi box to set the resolution.
|
| To downsample bitmaps | |
1. |
Click File Print.
|
2. |
Click the Prepress tab.
|
3. |
In the Bitmap downsampling area, enable any of the following check boxes and
type a value in the corresponding box:
|
• |
Color and grayscale
|
• |
Monochrome
|
 |
Downsampling bitmaps affects them only when their resolution is higher than
the resolution specified in the Bitmap downsampling area.
