Help for Printer Properties ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Use this window to select from the characteristics that describe the physical setup of your printer, and to select default characteristics for individual print jobs. The information provided concerns the characteristics of the printer named in the heading of the window. Setup fields in this window enable you to specify the form in the printer. Push buttons give access to other physical printer setup windows in which you can link forms to each paper source and download fonts. The default print-job setup fields in this window enable you to specify resolution, the orientation of characters and graphics on the paper, spool-file type, and font selection. For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below: o Print Mode o Orientation o Resolution o Advanced Options o Spool File Type o Default Form/Source o Form Connections o Create Forms o Default Form Type o Default Font o Download Fonts o Font Memory Option o OK o Cancel Related Information: o Printer, queue, and program job-properties setup o Error conditions o Unattended printer operation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.

Help for Color Graphics ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Use Color Graphics options to control the colors generated by your printer for Text, Lines and Areas, and Bitmaps. Select Full Color to provide the greatest range of color. The colors will be generated by dithering the primary colors provided by the printer, i.e. red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, black and white. Select Primary Colors Only to use only the primary printer colors. This may improve print quality for thin lines and small text. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> spool file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A file containing output data that has been saved for later processing. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> spooling ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The process of temporarily storing print jobs while waiting for an available printer or port at a print destination. Spooling jobs frees system resources from waiting for a relatively slow device to provide output, and keeps the contents of each print job separated from the contents of every other print job. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> resolution ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Density or sharpness of an image. For bit-map material, resolution is expressed in dots-per-inch, with higher quality output having more dots-per-inch. You can adjust resolution for some printers. Low-resolution images are printed faster, but appear coarser than high-resolution images. A printer's memory size might limit the resolution you can choose. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> device font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A font particular to the printer. Some device fonts have size and language-support restrictions. Printer device fonts are internal to the printer hardware, or they can be installed as a card, or downloaded to printer memory. They are printed faster than system fonts. See also system font. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> download font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A soft font copied (downloaded) to the memory of your printer. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> download overlay ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ An overlay macro copied (downloaded) to the memory of your printer. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> font-card files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Files needed for each font card are typically supplied on a diskette in the font-card package. The files are frequently installed into a directory (such as C:\AUTOFONT) by a font installation program. When you install new font cards, you must specify the drive and directory of the following files for each card: o A GLUE.TXT file, which identifies the fonts supported by this card, and the location of the font support files. o Font Metric files, with the extension TFM, which contain the information about each font supported by this card. When the printer driver installs a font card, it creates a file with the extension FCF which contains the information about each font selected to be supported for that card. Note: There are IBM* LaserPrinter Font Cards that emulate some Hewlett-Packard** LaserJet** series II font cartridges and resident Hewlett-Packard LaserJet series IID fonts. If your IBM LaserPrinter Font Card is not listed in the Font Cards window of the printer driver, then contact your Lexmark** dealer, point of purchase or your country Lexmark representative, to receive the font files necessary for the printer driver to use the font card. Note: If the Available Cards list is empty you are missing the file PCL5_FCF.DLL, which comes with the printer driver. This file contains the font card metrics for some IBM LaserPrinter Font Cards. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> font installation program ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Prior to adding a card or a download font you must install the font files onto the hard disk. This may involve running the Autofont Support Installer (for example: Font Converter), copying files to a specific directory on the hard disk, or using some other utility. Follow the instructions with each font on installing the font files onto the hard disk. Make note of the directory where the files were stored, for example: C:\AUTOFONT. When you add new fonts for use with the printer driver, you must specify the name of the directory containing the font files. Related Information: Font Converter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Font Converter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This utility, available from Lexmark**, converts PCL** 5 Intellifont** (.TYP files) and FAIS format fonts to symbol set bound PCL Encapsulated Outline(PCLEO) soft fonts. It also converts TrueType** (.TTF files) to symbol set bound PCL Encapsulated TrueType Outline(PCLETTO) soft fonts. The PCLETTO fonts are supported by the printers that provide enhanced PLC 5 emulation. Follow the Font Converter instructions on installing the font files onto the hard disk. Make note of the directory where the GLUE.TXT file was stored, for example: C:\AUTOFONT. When you add new fonts for use with the printer driver, you must specify the name of the directory containing the GLUE.TXT file. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> typefaces ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Identifies the unique design characteristics of the symbols of a particular font. Courier and Times Roman are examples of a typeface. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> extended symbol set ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A symbol set that includes characters that do not map to the Presentation Manager* (PM) character set. Such fonts frequently contain characters such as graphic characters, special characters, or bar codes. Examples of such symbol sets are OCR and Bar Codes. See also font symbol sets. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> symbol set ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A grouping of a set of characters in a specific order. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> font orientation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This printer driver can create both portrait and landscape fonts from font files in either orientation. If you have font files for both portrait and landscape versions of the same font, the font will only be shown in the windows once, but it will support the font in both the portrait and landscape orientations. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> download-font files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Files needed for each download font are supplied on a diskette in the download-font package. The files are frequently installed into a directory (such as C:\AUTOFONT) by a font installation program. The download font support files typically include: o A download font file, which usually has the extension .SFS or .SFT for outline fonts, but may have any extension for bitmapped fonts. o Font Metric files, with the extension TFM, which carry the information about the font. These are required for outline fonts. o A GLUE.TXT file, which identifies the location of the font support files. The GLUE.TXT file is optional for bitmap download fonts. When the printer driver installs a download font it creates a file, with the extension FMF, which contains the information about the font. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> metric file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A file created by the printer driver to describe a download font or a font card. The metric file for a download font has the extension FMF, and the metric file for a font card has the extension FCF. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> flash memory card ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A special memory card that can be installed in the printer that provides a location for permanent download of soft fonts and overlay macros. This memory card is unaffected by resets to the printer. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> printer toolkit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ This utility, supplied with the printer, provides a variety of printer-specific utilities, including downloading soft fonts and overlay macros to the flash memorycard or the disk option. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> disk option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A special disk option that can be installed in the printer that provides a location for permanent download of soft fonts and overlay macros.

Program-specified job properties override defaults of either queue or printer properties. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Error Conditions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ If text is printed in the wrong font, in the wrong position or is scrambled, check for the following: o A page with dense graphics or a combination of text and graphics. De-selecting Printer Fonts may eliminate the problem. o More than 32 printer fonts used on a page. Limit the number of fonts used to 32 to eliminate the problem. If graphics and text mixed on one page print on different pages when in Landscape orientation, de-selecting Printer Fonts may eliminate the problem. The system issues a Forms Mismatch error message, and prevents a job from printing if the form selected for the job is not also selected in the Form Connections window. Load the appropriate form for the job, then access the printerdriver Form Connections window, changing the selection there to match the form required by the waiting job. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Unattended Printer Operation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ To maintain unattended operation of your printer: 1.
