Scaling Options
This option allows you to automatically or manually scale your print
job on a page. This option can be grayed out according to the
Layout Options setting in the Basic tab.
• Fit to Page: This option allows you to scale your print job to any
selected paper size regardless of the document size. (See “Fitting
Your Document to a Selected Paper Size” on page 21.)
• Percentage: This option allows you to change the size of a page’s
contents to appear larger or smaller on the printed page by typing
in a percentage you want. (See “Change percentage of your

Advanced
• Download as Outline: This option allows the driver to download
any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not stored
(resident) on your machine. If, after printing a document, you find
that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as Bit
Image and resubmit your print job. This feature is available only
when you use the PCL printer driver.
• Download as Bit Image: This option allows the driver to
download the font data as bitmap images. Documents with
complicated fonts, such as Korean or Chinese, or various other
fonts, will print faster in this setting. Download as Bit Image is
useful when printing from Adobe programs.
• Print as Graphics: This option allows the driver to download any
fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic
content and relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance
(speed) may be enhanced in this setting.
• Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the
printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts)
to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in
your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting
this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer
fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document
to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your
document that are very different from those resident in the printer,
your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like
on the screen.

Dear ABC

What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive
(HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document.
Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and
letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can
create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently
on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you
do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need
only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.
Creating a New Page Overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing
your logo or image.
1
Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a
new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to
appear when printed as an overlay.
