Font Substitution
Turns font substitution on or off.
Default: [Off]
•
On
If a job requests a font that is not loaded on the printer, the printer uses a substitute font.
• Off
If a job requests a font that is not loaded on the printer, the printer generates an IPDS NACK
(Negative Acknowledgement) message and the host holds the job.
Caching
Specifies whether or not to use caching for repeated overlays.
Default: [Off]
• On
The printer uses caching, which provides better performance for jobs with repeated overlays,
but uses more memory.
• Off
The printer does not use caching, which requires less memory but provides less performance
for jobs with repeated overlays.
• Overlay caching is recommended for repeated overlays. Overlay caching does not improve
performance with non-overlay IPDS data or overlays that are used only once or infrequently.
Font Capture
Sets Font Capture processing.
Default: [On]
•
On
The printer saves downloaded font resources on its hard disk drive for use beyond the
duration of the current power cycle. The IPDS host must provide the "Activate Resource"
command with the correct resource identifiers before downloading the font resource to be
captured.
• Off
The printer stores downloaded font resources for the duration of one power cycle only.
Resolution
Specifies the resolution reported to the host in the "IPDS XOA-OPC" command for raster coded
fonts and IM1 image support. The [Resolution] menu item also helps determine whether or not a
printer-resident raster font is used. For example, 240 dpi raster fonts are activated at the [240 dpi]
setting, not at [300 dpi] or [600 dpi]. The [Resolution] setting does not affect outline fonts, nor does
it determine which raster fonts can be downloaded to the printer as temporary activation fonts.
