Use the PostScript Options panel of the Advanced Print Setup dialog box to set options for a particular PostScript printer, such as how to handle nonresident printer fonts and whether to download Asian fonts. In addition, if a PDF contains device-dependent settings, such as halftones and transfer functions, these settings can be sent in the PostScript output to override the default settings in the printer. To use these options, you must be connected to a PostScript printer or have a PostScript printer driver installed with a PPD file selected.
Specifies the level of PostScript to generate for the pages. Choose the level of PostScript appropriate for your printer.
Specifies how fonts and resources in the document are sent to a printer when those fonts and resources aren’t present on the printer.
Downloads all fonts and resources at the start of the print job. The fonts and resources remain on the printer until the job has finished printing. This option is the fastest but uses the most printer memory.
Downloads fonts and resources before printing the first page that uses them, and then discards them when they are no longer needed. This option uses less printer memory. However, if a PostScript processor reorders the pages later in the workflow, it might not reorder the font downloading correctly, resulting in missing fonts. This option may not work with some printers.
Downloads all fonts and resources for a given page before the page prints, and then discards the fonts when the page has finished printing. This option uses the least printer memory.
Prints documents with Asian fonts that aren’t installed on the printer or embedded in the PDF. The Asian fonts must be present on the system.
Preserves hinting information in the original font when printing. If unselected, CIDFontType2 fonts are converted to CIDFontType0 fonts, which are compatible with a wider range of printers. This option is available for PostScript 3 and PostScript Level 2 (PostScript version 2015 and later) output devices.
Prints pages as bitmap images. Select this option if normal printing doesn’t produce the desired results, and specify a resolution. This option is available only for PostScript printers.
