Use To
PostScript Control how the printer driver produces the PostScript data that is sent to the printer.
Settings include:
• Optimize output format—This optimizes the PostScript data stream that the printer driver
produces based on the selected format. Output formats include Speed, Portability,
Encapsulated PostScript, and Archive.
• Language level—This specifies the level of PostScript to be used for the print job. Levels 1, 2,
and 3 are available.
• Print error information—This prints information about any PostScript language errors
encountered during printing.
• Generate PostScript in driver—This prompts the driver to generate the PostScript language
for the print job, rather than the software program the document is being printed from.
Notes:
• This option is available only in the PostScript driver.
• Some functions are not available for use with the Encapsulated PostScript option in the
PostScript driver when Fax is enabled.
• When Encapsulated PostScript is selected as the output format, any printer-specific setting
would then be removed. This allows the output file to be imported into other PostScript
applications easily.
PCL Access the PCL options for both PCL 5 and PCL XL printer emulations.
• Graphic Mode—This controls how the printer processes and prints text and graphics in a
document. This option is exclusive to PCL 5 emulations.
