Fine-tune print jobs

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 Print 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 Global.

To choose a threshold and chunk overlap

1 .	Click Tools Options Global.

To print as a bitmap

1 .	Click File Print.

To downsample bitmaps

1 .	Click File Print.

Downsampling bitmaps affects them only when their resolution is higher than the resolution specified in the Bitmap downsampling area.
