Selecting Print Quality

Trapping

Fonts

KX DRIVER
In the Imaging tab, select a Print quality from the list. The number of
selections in Print quality depends on the number of resolutions supported by
the printing system.
High quality
Select this setting to print at the highest printing system resolution.
Custom
Custom lets you choose a setting for EcoPrint. Selecting Custom without
EcoPrint results in a default setting to the highest printing system resolution.
In color printing, color inks or toners are applied separately to a page. A color
image has its component colors applied in color separations of cyan, magenta,
yellow and black. These color separations must be aligned (registered)
precisely to produce a quality full color image. During printing, the paper or
media type may shift slightly. While the shift might be very small, the gaps
between the colors in the image can be noticeable. Color trapping corrects it by
overlapping colors slightly so that minor alignment issues are corrected.
To use trapping in a document, select a value for the print overlap pixel width:
Light, 0.5 pixel trapping; Medium, 1 pixel trapping; Heavy, 1.5 pixels trapping;
Very Heavy, 2 pixels trapping.
If trapping does not correct the misalignment issue, contact your local Kyocera
service dealer.
Note: Trapping is not available when the PDL is set to PCL 5c or PDF.
A computer font is a data file containing a set of glyphs (visual representations
of textual elements), characters, or symbols. Common terms for fonts are:
Bitmap fonts define each character as a pattern of pixels (the smallest
resolvable rectangular areas of an image). Such fonts are not easily scalable
and distort when reduced or enlarged.
Outline fonts, in contrast to bitmap fonts, are defined as a set of
mathematical lines and curves. An outline font is more easily scalable
(designed to display and print clearly at any point size) than a bitmap font.
Native fonts are the basic or original fonts installed with the computer
operating system. TrueType fonts are the native fonts used by Microsoft
Windows.
TrueType fonts are a type of scalable outline fonts. TrueType has long been
the most common format for fonts on Microsoft Windows.
System fonts are the primary fonts used by the operating system. They are
typically accessed through an application interface or through a common font
dialog box.
Device fonts are stored either permanently or temporarily in the printing
system memory.
