PostScript printer driver

This driver works with Adobe PostScript language printers, allowing your application programs to communicate with your printer and print documents. The following guidelines can help you navigate through this product.

The driver provides reasonable default settings, or properties, for most application and printers. You will probably want to change these properties only if you are installing a new printer option, such as an additional tray or more memory or setting a specific feature.

To complete your requests for property changes, use either the Apply button or the OK button. The Apply button activates your changes without closing the Properties dialog box. The OK button activates the changes and closes the Properties dialog box.

Troubleshooting


Font Tab
[Fonts] Tab

Font Tab provides a number of different options for printing text with the desired fonts.

To print text with TrueType fonts, you can either let the Adobe PostScript printer driver substitute the best PostScript font or printer-resident font for the TrueType fonts in your document, or you can send the True Type fonts to your printer in the desired format.

For printing text with PostScript fonts, you can either send the fonts in Type 1 or choose not to send the fonts at all.

Note:

•	You cannot specify fonts from the Print Dialog of Windows application. For setting, use printer folder in the control panel.

Substitute printer fonts for TrueType fonts when applicable

This option lets the driver substitute PostScript fonts for the regular TrueType fonts used in your document, instead of sending all TrueType fonts to your printer. This option lets you choose the best option for the font frequently used on Windows. This option increases printing performance.

Generally, the TrueType fonts are set so that the PostScript fonts could substitute for the best substitution. If no best PostScript substitutions are available for TrueType fonts, the driver will send such TrueType fonts to your printer in the format that you specified in the Send TrueType fonts as box in the Send Fonts As dialog box.


Do not use printer fonts

TrueType fonts are sent to you printer as TrueType fonts instead of being substituted. The same fonts you see on your screen are used for printing, however printing may take some time. TrueType fonts are sent to your printer in the format specified in the Send TrueType Fonts As box in the Send Fonts As dialog box. Click the Send Fonts As button and specify the format of TrueType fonts.


Add Euro Currency Symbol to PostScript Fonts

This option allows downloading the Euro currency symbol character (glyph) of the same (or a similar) typeface to print when you use PostScript fonts that do not normally contain the Euro currency symbol.


Update Soft Fonts

This option updates the installed PostScript Font list so the driver accurately prints. To update the font list, click this button.


Send Fonts As

This button displays the Send Fonts As dialog box. Click the Send Fonts As button and choose one of two options, Send TrueType fonts as or Send PostScript fonts as.


Send Fonts As dialog

You use the Send Fonts As dialog box to send the TrueType fonts and PostScript fonts used in your document from your computer to your printer.

Note:

•	Consider factors of performance, portability and typographic quality in choosing the format in which the fonts are sent.

Send TrueType fonts as

You choose the format in which to send the TrueType fonts if the PostScript fonts cannot be substituted for them. Click Outlines for Scalable Outline (Type 1), which is best for large point sizes. Be aware that if the point size is extremely small, the driver sometimes automatically substitutes the bitmap fonts. Click Bitmaps for Bitmap (Type 3), which is best for small point sizes. Click Type 42 for the Type 42 format that some Adobe PostScript printers can use. If you choose Don't Send, none of the TrueType fonts are sent. Use this option only if you use an advanced printer spooler.

•	To send TrueType fonts as scalable outlines, choose Outlines. The driver uses TrueType character outlines to create PostScript Type 1 fonts. Use this option for high-resolution printers and documents using point sizes 10 or more. This option provides a compact solution, especially when several sizes of the same font are used in the document. This option might not be the best choice for very ornamental fonts, however, unless they are used in large point sizes

•	To send TrueType fonts as bitmaps, choose Bitmaps. The driver uses TrueType character outlines to create bitmapped PostScript Type 3 fonts. Use this option for low-resolution printers and documents using smaller point sizes. This option is very accurate and also provides a compact solution at small point sizes of 14 or less. If you are printing to a file and are concerned about the portability, however, do not use this option; bitmaps are not portable to printers with different resolutions

Note:

•	Some printers support a type of bitmap font format called Type 32, in addition to the default Type 3 bitmap format. If your printer supports Type 32 fonts, the Adobe PostScript printer driver will use them instead of creating bitmapped Type 3 fonts.

•	To send TrueType fonts as Type 42, choose Type 42.  Type 42 fonts are TrueType fonts that can be printed on a PostScript printer. Use this option for printers that support Type 42 fonts. This option might provide the closest representations of your TrueType fonts. Note, however, that not all printers support Type 42 fonts; when you print to an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file or designate files for archiving, Type 1 fonts provide the best results.

To have the printer driver rely on the printer or network spooler to supply TrueType fonts, choose Don't Send. This option is useful only if you have a spooler in your system configuration that can supply these fonts. Don't Send does not substitute printer fonts for TrueType fonts. When a TrueType font is not available, the default print font, usually Courier, is used. Use this option only if you have experience using spoolers.


Threshold to switch between downloading bitmap or outline fonts, measured in pixels (in pixel size at the current resolution)

You specify the font size (by pixel) at which the driver should switch between sending TrueType fonts as bitmap (Type3) fonts and sending outline (Type 1) fonts. This option is useful only if you choose Outlines in the Send TrueType fonts as menu of the Send Fonts As dialog box. The most effective threshold depends on font design. For example, sending the TrueType fonts as outline is effective for non-ornamental fonts in sizes of 14 points or more at 600 dpi (dots per inch). If this value is zero, it means outline (Type 1) fonts are always sent.

To adjust the font size at which the driver should switch between sending TrueType fonts as bitmap fonts and sending outline fonts, type the desired value in the Threshold to switch between downloading bitmap or outline fonts, measured in pixels (in pixel size at the current resolution) box.  Set this option only if you chose Outlines in step 4.  This value varies according to the printing resolution. A value of zero means outline fonts are always sent. Use 100 for typical textual font usage, or increase to 200 if you are using ornamental fonts, for example.


Send PostScript fonts as

You specify whether to send or not send PostScript fonts to your printer. If you click In Native Format, the PostScript font file is sent to your printer before the printer prints your document. If you choose Don't Send, none of the fonts is sent. Use this option only if you either use an advanced spooler or have an appropriate font cartridge installed.

Notes:

•	This option will not affect sending TrueType Fonts.

•	To send PostScript fonts to the printer in their native format (Type 1), in the Send PostScript Fonts As menu, choose In Native Format.

•	To not send PostScript fonts, choose Don't Send in the Send PostScript font as menu. This option is useful only if you have a spooler in your system configuration that can supply these fonts. Don't Send does not substitute printer fonts for PostScript fonts. When a PostScript font is not available, the default printer font, usually Courier, is used. This is an advanced feature that only users experienced with managing fonts should use.

Size

Select the size of paper or envelope that is supported in your printer. To select the type you wish to use, open the Size menu and select the desired paper. Select custom paper in the menu, and click the Custom Size button to define the custom size.

Note:

•	When you select paper, Conflicts dialog sometimes appears, for example, when an icon with a red circle with a red bar through it is displayed. Some settings can be changed from this dialog box, for example, Source, but sometimes your printer's settings must be changed. Read the alert message from the driver for instructions.


Custom Size

The Size menu displays three types of custom paper. Select one of them and click the Custom Size button. The Custom Size dialog box opens. In the Custom Size dialog box, you can set a custom paper size.


Source

You specify the location of paper you desired to use. You can specify either paper source (tray) or paper type.

Specify paper tray

When you know where the paper you desired to use is located, select the tray that has your desired paper.

Available paper sources are Tray 1, Tray 2, and Multi-Purpose Tray. When you select Automatically Select, the printer will automatically select the tray that matches the selected paper in size and weight according to the priority specified in the printer.

Specify paper type

When you load paper in your printer, set paper type in the printer and select the paper type you want. Available paper types are Plain paper, Recycled paper, Transparency and Label.

Notes:

•	When your desired paper does not exist in the specified tray or the paper type you specified does not exist, the printer shows a paper request message and the printer becomes standby mode.

•	When you have added optional tray, set the number of Available Tray in Device Options Tab.

•	An icon with a red circle with a red bar through it indicates that the paper can be selected but there are items that must be changed for your printer to use that size of paper. Some settings can be changed from this dialog box, for example, Size, but sometimes your printer's settings must be changed. Read the alert message from the driver for instructions.

The Printer Halftone is always used

Some applications include halftone screen information for PostScript printers in the document sent to the printer.

When you print from these applications, the output may have a rough-texture.

When The Printer Halftone is always used is set to ON, the most appropriate halftone for the printer is always used, not the embedded halftone screen information.

Note:

•	Leave this setting ON unless you are an experience halftone user!

•	If you want to use the halftone information specified by your application, set this setting to OFF.


Black Overprint

This option controls how 100 % black text is overlaid on a colored background.

OFF:

Background color on which black 100 % text overlays are not printed. Only the text is printed in 100% black toner.

ON:

The background color behind the black 100% character is also printed. Specify this option when you have any misregistration problems such as gaps between the background color and the text.

Note:

•	You cannot use this feature with some applications.

•	If your application supports black overprint function, use the application's function and set this option to OFF.

•	When a character is not in 100 % black, or a character is changed into a graphic or an image by outlining and etc., you cannot use this option.

•	When the background color is dark (when the thickness of the toner layer exceeds 240 %), toner sometimes is not properly fused. For example, if you draw black 100% character on the background color (Cyan = 50%, Magenta = 50 %, Yellow = 50 %), the thickness of toner layer is 50 + 50 + 50 + 100 = 250%, which exceeds 240 %.


Use Optimized Gray Scale Halftones

When Grayscale is selected (enabled), all documents are printed as monochrome.

No color prints.

The printer interprets all colors as a variation of grays.

When Use Optimized Gray Scale Halftones is selected (box is checked), the largest number of variations of grays are used, to the greatest possible level of detail.  Use this when printing photographs.

Use this option when you print data for color measuring when you create ICC Profile. In this mode, color matching is not performed and toner layer thickness is not strictly restricted. Thus, you can know precise color matching characteristics.

Note:

•	Do not use this mode for regular printing.


Color Matching by AP

Select this option when you apply color matching of your application. Color matching of the printer or the driver is not performed.


Input

Specify the ICC profile of the device that is the source of RGB data or CMYK data.

RGB profile: Specify the profile of an input device that creates/displays RGB data (monitor, digital camera and etc.).

CMYK input profile: Specify the profile of an output device that outputs CMYK data in the end (offset printer, image setter, ink and etc.).


RGB Profile

As an ICC profile for an input device, usually specify the profile of an input device that creates/displays RGB data (monitor or digital camera).

sRGB

Select this option when you use an input device with sRGB characteristics.

RGB Source 1 – 12

You can register/specify up to 12 ICC profiles of RGB input devices.

Note:

•	In order to register ICC profiles and to check the information of the ICC profile already registered in the printer, use [Profile Assistant Utility].

•	The registered ICC profile is saved in the printer. Once registered, you can share it via network.

•	For how to register an ICC profile, refer to Help or manual of [Profile Assistant Utility].


CMYK Profile Type

Specify a format of CMYK profile: whether to use the profile for regular CMYK devices or link profile for directly converting CMYK data into CMYK for the printer.

CMYK Input Profile

Specifies the profile for regular CMYK devices as the profile for CMYK data.

CMYK Link Profile

Specifies link profile that directly converts CMYK data to CMYK for the printer as the profile for CMYK data.

Note:

•	Link profile is a special profile that converts CMYK data of a source device (standard offset printer, ink and etc.) to CMYK for the printer. Usually specify [CMYK Input Profile].


CMYK Input Profile

Usually, as the ICC profile for CMYK data, specify a profile of CMYK data source device (standard offset printer, ink and etc.)

PostScript output format

You can specify PostScript file format.

PostScript (Optimize for Speed)

Choosing this option reduces printing time, but may not allow the full use of some of the features of network spoolers.

PostScript (Optimize for Portability - ADSC)

Choose this option when you create a file that conforms to the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions  (ADSC).  Choosing this option ensures that each page is independent of all other pages in a document.  These independent page objects help documents print successfully on network spooler- based printers as well as on remote printers.  Choose this option if you intend to print to a sophisticated spooler.

Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)

Choose this option to create single page EPS files in one application for use by insertion into a document created by another application.  Use this option if you want to include the file as a high-quality image in another document that will be printed from a different application.

Archive Format

Choose this option when you want to improve file portability.  This option improves by suppressing many of the printer settings that might prevent the file from printing.  Use this option only if you want long-term storage of your file or you intend to distribute a file widely that might be printed on unknown printers.

PJL Archive Format

Choose this format to notify a PJL-based printer that the document is being printed in PostScript. Use this option only when you know your printer supports both PostScript and PJL.

 Note:

•	PostScript (Optimize for Speed) is normally recommended for most print jobs.


 Download header with each print job

This option sends a header with each print job.  This option is appropriate if you are sharing a printer on a network or if you are printing to a file for later printing at a service bureau.  It might also be required if your printer can switch between the printer languages, such as PJL and PostScript.

Notes:

•	Normally Download header with each job is recommended.

•	This setting is ignored in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) and Archive Formats.


Assume header is downloaded and retained

This option controls whether or not the driver sends the PostScript header with each document you print.  Use this option only if you are an advanced user with experience working with PostScript headers.   When your printer is connected directly to your computer, you can speed up by downloading the header just once.

Notes:

•	Do not use this method when printing to a networked printer.

•	This setting is ignored in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) and Archive Formats print jobs.


Send Header Now

The PostScript header is immediately sent to the printer and retained there until the printer is rebooted. When you click Send Header Now button, the driver automatically selects Assume header is downloaded and retained option.


Print PostScript error information

The printer driver can detect some errors that Windows cannot detect. If you have a problem during printing, click this option. This information enables a user, a system administrator, or a product support specialist to find a cause of the problem.

Note:

•	If you choose Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), this setting is ignored.


Job timeout

This feature allows you to set the maximum number of seconds for the printer to execute a print job.   When this set time passes after the job is started, Timeout error occurs, and the printer discards data that it has already received.  Designation of 0 means no timeout.


Wait timeout

When the time specified here passes after the printer receives data and before next data is sent, the printer discards the data it has already received.   This option prevents the printer from stalling when data transmission stops due to computer lockup or data transmission error.

Note:

•	If the timeout value is set to "0", the printer keeps waiting for data indefinitely.   Do not set a value of 0 for a networked printer.

PostScript language level

Specifies which level of PostScript language to use. The driver automatically chooses as the default value the highest PostScript language level supported by the selected printer. To optimize your printer features, make sure the PostScript language level is set to the highest level that your printer supports.

Note:

•	Consider using a lower PostScript language level only if printing problems occur.


ASCII data

Data is sent in ASCII format (7 bits). This format may take longer to send data, but it enables data sending from all types of I/O channels including the serial, parallel and network ports.


Binary communications protocol

All types of data, except special control characters, are sent in binary format (8 bits).

Notes:

•	This format allows data sending only through either the parallel or serial communications port.

•	Sending data in this format is faster than sending in ASCII format.
Click Set protocol now to switch your printer to Binary Communications Protocol (BCP) for future print jobs.


Tagged binary communications protocol

All types of data, except special control characters, are sent in binary format (8 bits).

Notes:

•	This format allows data sending only through the parallel, serial or LPR communications port only.

•	Sending data in this format is faster than sending in ASCII format.


Pure binary data

All types of data are sent in binary format. This is the fastest format for printing, but data can be sent only over AppleTalk or Ethernet.

Notes:

•	If your printer supports binary communication and you are using the Archive Format option or creating an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file that might be printed on a printer that does not support binary communication, the binary communication option should be turned off.  The driver does this process automatically for you for the duration of the print job.


Ctrl-D
Send Ctl-D before (after) job

This option adjusts when the reset-memory code CTRL+D is sent to the printer, if necessary.  This option might be important for sending print jobs in batches or troubleshooting situations.   The default option Send CTRL+D after job is usually the better choice for most cases.  Sending CTROL+D notifies a printer that the current job has been completed and resets the printer.

Notes:

•	When you print in a UNIX-based network such as Banyan VINES, AT&T StarGROUP, or Sun, you may need to turn these settings OFF.

•	When data format is set to Pure binary data, Ctrl+D message cannot be sent


Display alert for applications incompatible with driver features

The driver can display an alert message when you use applications that might be incompatible with certain driver features such as N-up and Watermarks.  The Display alert for application incompatible with driver features is turned off by default.

Note:

•	For more information, see Applications that Might Be Incompatible with Driver Features of Troubleshooting.


Printer Fails to Print

A number of problems can cause your printer to fail to print:

•	Your printer is not switched on.

•	Your printer is not connected to your computer correctly.

•	Your printer is not selected in the Printers folder (displayed from the Start menu.)

•	The port you selected in the Details tab of the Properties dialog box is not the port to which you connected your printer.

•	The driver's printer control setting, such as the Tagged binary communications protocol option in the Advanced PostScript Options dialog box, does not match your printer setup.

•	You have left the PostScript output format option set to Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) after creating EPS files.

•	If you have not selected the printer you wish to use in Print dialog box, or Print Setup (Page Setup) of the application, your document will be printed on the default printer.  Select the printer of your choice in the Print dialog box, or Print Setup (Page Setup) of the application, and try again.

To change the default printer, select the printer by double clicking it in the Printers folder and check Set As Default.

•	Your printer is inoperable.

Check for these problems in the above order, starting at the top of the list.  If the problem persists, follow these steps:

1.	Carefully repeat the installation instructions in your printer documentation.

2.	Carefully check the driver's printer settings to make sure they match your printer setup.

3.	If you still cannot correct the problem, contact your printer dealer, printer manufacturer, or system administrator for help.


Network Printer Fails to Print

These problems can cause a network printer to fail to print:

•	Your network is failing or is down. Nobody can print.

•	Your Windows network setup is incorrect.

•	Your print job has been redirected to a printer connected through an AppleTalk network, but the printer driver is not set up to work with an AppleTalk network.

For the first two problems, contact your network administrator.
If you suspect the third problem, choose Pure binary data or ASCII data as format in the Advanced PostScript Options dialog box.


Printer Stops Printing

These problems can cause your printer to stop printing:

•	Disk area needed for print job is insufficient.

•	Your printer encounters an error when trying to interpret the PostScript language description of your document or trying to print it.

•	Your printer requires more memory than is available to print a complicated page.

•	The driver's printer control settings do not match the printer setup.  If this is the case, the printer prints a page with a short description of the problem.
A driver alert message or a printed error page (if you are using PostScript error handler) indicates the type of problem.

If the problem is too little disk space, you can create more disk space by deleting unused files or by adding hard disk drive.
If you suspect that your printer requires more memory than is available to print a complex page, lower the estimated value for Available printer memory in the Device Options tab in the Printer Properties dialog box.   For details, see the printer memory adjustment.    You can also print the job in smaller pieces or simplify the page by reducing the number of fonts used, or reducing the number of objects in the graphics if the page contains graphics; or install more memory in your printer.

If you suspect a problem, download the PostScript error handler along with the document that is failing to print.  For instructions, see Using the Error Handler to Troubleshoot Print Problems.

If you cannot correct the problem, contact your printer dealer or printer manufacturer for help.


Courier Prints for Other Font

When you print a document containing a font unavailable to your printer, your printer uses Courier.  These conditions can cause this situation:

•	You manually download soft fonts to printer memory, then, switch off your printer, and after you switch on your printer, you do not download the fonts again.  Once you manually download soft fonts, the driver assumes that the fonts are available to your printer.  To correct this problem, manually download the fonts again.

•	You used a TrueType font for which the driver was not set up to substitute a PostScript font.  Or in the Send Fonts As dialog box, the Send TrueType Fonts As value is set to Don't Send.  The Don't Send option is used for users with network or print management software that performs TrueType font substitution.  If you are not using this kind of software, TrueType fonts assigned the Don't send option print using Courier font.

To correct the problem, you have two options:

•	Change the Send TrueType Font As value in the Send Fonts As dialog box, to send the desired TrueType font, as described in Substituting PostScript Fonts for TrueType Fonts.

•	Set up the driver to substitute a PostScript font for the TrueType font using Font Substitution Table dialog box, as described in Substituting PostScript Fonts for TrueType Fonts.

•	You wanted to use a PostScript font but chose Don't Send in the Send PostScript Font As.  To correct the problem, select In Native Format from the Send Fonts As dialog box.


Wrong Font Is Displayed on Monitor for Printer Font

Most PostScript printers come with at least 13 or 35 PostScript fonts permanently installed in the printer ROM (Read-Only Memory).  These fonts usually appear in your application's font menus, and if you have Adobe Type Manager (ATM) program, you can print them in your documents.

Two conditions, however, might prevent the correct font from being displayed on the monitor:

•	Unless you have the ATM program, Windows displays text on your monitor using substitute fonts for your PostScript fonts.  For example, Windows displays Times New Roman for Times, and Courier New for Courier.

•	You can install new fonts into your printer using a font downloading utility or font cartridges.  But these fonts might not match the PostScript fonts installed in your system for ATM to display.

Windows matches PostScript fonts as best it can, and for Helvetica, Times, Courier and Symbol, the substitute fonts match closely.  But for other PostScript fonts, Windows might substitute a font that does not match very closely.  For example, Windows might substitute Times New Roman for Palatino, New Century and Bookman, and Helvetica for Helvetica Narrow.  The poorest match is for Zapf Dingbats, for which, Windows substitute Wingdings.


Too Many Copies Print or Copies are Uncollated

If you set the number of copies to print in both your application's Print dialog and the driver's Job Options tab, too many copies will be printed.

To solve this problem, enter 1(one) in the Copies box of Job Options tab, and set the number of copies to print in your application's Print dialog box.

Some applications  (such as Microsoft® Word for Windows) print collated copies.   Setting the number of copies in Job Options tab produces uncollated copies on a PostScript printer that does not support collation.  Printing uncollated copies is usually faster than printing collated copies.  If you need high speed processing, uncheck Collate in the Copies feature of the Print dialog.

Note:

•	Set the number of copies you want in either the Print dialog or the Job Options tab. Never specify the number of copies in both dialog boxes.  Doing so might cause the settings to combine in unexpected ways.
Unlike the Copies setting in the Print dialog of most applications, the number of copies you set in the Job Options tab of the driver remains in effect until you change it.


Page Image Cropped (Edges Cut Off)

The edges of the print image may be cropped (cut off) for either of the following two reasons:

•	You have enlarged the print image in the Scaling option to a size larger than will fit on the page.

•	You are using an application that requires the driver's unprintable area to be set to zero.

If you have enlarged the print image in the Scaling option, reduce the percentage enlargement and print again.

If you are using an application that requires you to change the driver setting for the unprintable area, display the Unprintable Area dialog box from Setup tab, and change the value of Top, Bottom, Left and Right, to zero.  (For other applications, you might have to change these values back to the defaults using the Restore Defaults button.)


Placed EPS Image Too Small

Some applications do not provide the driver with enough information to create correct EPS images. When images created with these applications are placed into the documents of other applications, the images might appear too small. Sometimes the picture itself is only a small part of the page; other times, it is an application problem. You cannot correct this problem.  Future revisions of the application, however, might correct the problem.

Check with your application vendor to see if a later version of the application has solved this problem.


Rotate Landscape Doesn't Work

Not all the applications support the rotate feature.  For example, if you use the rotate function in a certain application program, texts are rotated correctly, but EPS images may not be rotated correctly.  You cannot correct this problem.  Future revisions of the application, however, might support the rotate feature.

Check with your application vendor to see if a later version of the application has solved this problem.


Problems Using a Network Spooler

If you are using a network spooler and having trouble printing, the problem might be caused by one of the following conditions:

•	The Data format option is set to an improper value for your configuration.  ASCII data works for all printers, but might be slower than other options. Binary communications protocol and Tagged binary communications protocol work only if the printer is connected over its own parallel or serial port.  Pure binary data works only if the printer is connected over AppleTalk or Ethernet.  You set the Data format option in the Advanced PostScript Options dialog box.

•	The PostScript output format option is set to PostScript (Optimize for Speed). Change the option to PostScript (Optimize for Portability  - ADSC), and try printing again.   You set the PostScript output format option in the PostScript tab of the Printer Properties dialog box.

•	The spooler might not be able to handle output sent in two printer languages, PostScript and PJL, for example.  You might not be able to set the PJL Archive Format option of the PostScript output format menu.


Media Size or  Source Box Does Not Reflect Configuration

Sometimes when you install an optional tray, Media Source and Size list boxes in Setup tab do not reflect the presence of the tray.  To see the tray in the Source list box, and its size in Size list box, make sure the number of trays in Device Options tab is the number of trays actually installed.


Considerations for Printing Watermarks and Multipage Layouts

Some applications have features that might affect the printing of watermarks, multipage layouts, or other driver features.

For example, if you are running applications that paint the entire page to create graphics, such as Adobe Photoshop®, you might be unable to print watermarks in the background.  To solve this problem, choose from these options:

•	Cancel printing and change print settings to eliminate watermarks or multipage layouts.

•	Cancel watermark or N-up printing, but continue printing the rest of the document.

•	Attempt to print the document with the default watermark and layout settings.

Specific considerations for printing watermarks

Some applications paint an entire page with a specific color before drawing text.  If you are using such an application, consider these tips when printing documents with watermarks:

•	If you print the watermark in the background, it might be obstructed.  Consider printing it in the foreground.

•	If you print the watermark in the foreground, consider using the As outline only option.  If you do not, the watermark might obstruct too much of your text and graphics.

Specific considerations for layout printing

Not all page-setup options work effectively with N-up layouts.  Consider the following points when printing a document with layout designations:

•	When your application allows you to combine layout, orientation, and scaling settings and to assign different settings for these options to various parts of a document, N-up pages will print out as expected, as shown in the following graphic.

4-up layout with orientation change

•	If you request a different resolution, paper size or paper source, or if you request duplex printing for different pages of a document with N-up designation, the Adobe Printer Driver completes the previous request and then starts a new page, applying the currently requested page-setup settings.  The order of the layout remains the same, although virtual pages of N-up layout might appear to be missing.  This is because the Adobe Printer Driver starts the next set of instructions on a new sheet of paper.

•	In the following example, the first page of the document prints on the company letterhead and the rest of the document on plain paper stock from a different source.

4-up layout with source change

•	Some applications let you use only one of the landscape orientations, not rotated landscape.  If a document uses multiple orientations, N-up pages might not print as expected.

•	Some applications might be incompatible with the Adobe Printer Driver's ability to combine N-up printing with collated copies.   This combination of features might produce unexpected print results.


Application Does Not List Installed Fonts

Even after you installed a font, sometimes, this font does not appear in the application's list of available fonts.  In such a case, you use the Update Soft Fonts option to automatically inform the driver of the font that you have installed.

To inform the driver of the installed fonts, do the following:

1.	Exit the application that is not listing the correct fonts; some applications check the driver for fonts only when they are starting up.

2.	In the Fonts tab, click Update Soft Fonts.

3.	Restart your application.  The list of fonts available to the application is now updated.


Applications That Might Be Incompatible with Driver Features

Some applications might be incompatible with the Adobe printer driver.  With those applications, you will be unable to use some of the Adobe printer driver features.  For a list of incompatible applications, see the Adobe printer driver ReadMe file.

If you enable the Display alert for applications incompatible with driver features option in the Advanced PostScript Options dialog box, the driver displays an alert message when the driver features (such as N-up, Watermarks, Print as a mirror image/Print as a negative image and Scaling) are incompatible with the application you are using, and provides options.  You can choose from these options:

•	Attempt to print the document using the current driver settings, despite incompatibilities.

•	Turn off the current driver settings for this print job only, and print.

•	Cancel the print job.


Using Error Handler to Troubleshoot Printing Problems

If you are experiencing printing problems, you can use the PostScript error handler to help diagnose them.

When your printer encounters an error, it often stops printing at the page containing the error, without any indication of what has caused the problem.   When you send the error handler to the printer, however, the printer prints as much of the failing page as has been processed without error, and then prints a page with an error message.  This can help you determine what the problem is and where it occurred.

To send the error handler for each print job, do the following:

1.	In Start menu, choose Settings ? Printers.

2.	Right-click the desired printer, then, choose Properties.

3.	Click PostScript tab.

4.	Check Print PostScript error information option.

5.	Click OK.

You have just set up the driver to download the PostScript error handler each time it prints a document.   After you diagnose your printing problem, return to the PostScript tab and uncheck Print PostScript error information option.


Missing ICC Profile

To use the driver's Windows ICM feature, you must install the ICC profile for your printer beforehand.  Otherwise, the driver ignores your color settings.  If you do not see Windows ICM feature in the Color tab, you can install it by right-clicking the ICC profile icon for the printer and selecting Install in place menu or Install to Color Directory menu, which copies the profile to your computer disk.

Note:

•	You can also obtain the ICC profile for your printer from ICM directory of Printer software CD.


Managing User Interface Conflicts

Sometimes you might select an option that conflicts with your current configuration.  For example, this happens when you select an option with an icon with a red circle with a red bar through it, or an option that causes other selections in the dialog box to be invalid.  When this occurs, a dialog explaining the conflict appears.  The Conflicts dialog box suggests how to solve the conflict and provides other options.

To manage selection conflicts:

When the Conflicts dialog box appears, choose either of them:

•	Click OK to solve the conflict as the driver suggests.

•	Click Cancel, to go back to the previous selection or dialog box, and make the necessary changes.


Duplex Pages Do not Print in Collated Copies

Some applications do not allow collated pages to be printed in duplex format.  When using such applications, if you select both duplex print and collated copies, you might get unexpected results.


Printer Not Responding Message Is Displayed

Some PostScript printers might require an extended amount of time to print a complex page.  When the time your printer spends printing one page exceeds the Transmission retry timeout value, your Operating System displays a message telling you that the printer is not responding and stalled. The printer might have canceled this print job and be preparing to receive data of another document.

Similarly, if the Job timeout is set to a value that is less than the amount of time needed to print your document, the printer stops printing.

If this situation happens often, you may want to increase the Job timeout value, the Wait timeout value in the PostScript tab, and the Transmission retry value in the Advanced tab.


Restore Defaults button

Sets the values of all the options in the current dialog to the driver defaults or the default values designated in the PPD.


Page Image

Page image reflects the orientation, N-up print  (and page border print) and duplex print settings.


Cancel button

Closes this dialog without saving any changes you have made.


OK button

Closes this dialog and saves the changes you have made.


Help button

Help button displays the summary of this dialog


Apply button

Apply button reflects the changes in this dialog right away.


Troubleshooting

When the driver detects a problem, it displays an alert message describing the problem and advising how to correct it.  If you get an alert message, follow the instructions displayed.

If your problem does not produce an alert message, look for a description of the problem from the following topics.  If you see a topic that describes your problem, read the topic and follow its instructions.

If you cannot find a troubleshooting topic describing your problem, contact the dealer from whom you purchased your printer or your printer manufacturer for assistance.
