OST CRIPT
These are general descriptions of settings available in the
PostScript 3 printer drivers. The interface of the printer
driver depends on the operating system you use. Not all
settings are available for all drivers, or they may appear on
different tabs in the printer driver. All printer drivers have
Online Help available at the click of a button, with more
information about specific settings. Chapter 4, "Printer
Drivers," shows the PostScript printer drivers and explains
how to use them.

Color Processing

Color Control
Use these settings to define color in your print job.
Color Photo: Produces smooth color images, for the best
reproduction of photographic images.
Color Business Graphics: Produces bright, solid colors,
suitable for presentation graphics, charts, and posters.
Color Transparency: Use this for the best results when
printing color presentations on overhead transparency film.
Grayscale: Converts all colors in the document to black and
shades of gray for monochrome printing.
Unadjusted: Does not apply any of the special color control
features.
Image Color Matching
This feature is available for advanced users (except for
Windows NT). You must install it from the SuperScript 4400
Series CD using the Custom Install feature. It will not appear
on the printer driver until you install it.

Watermarks

A watermark is text that appears on pages in your print job,
such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL. Use these settings to
apply watermarks to your print job, create new watermarks,
or modify existing watermarks. A preview area shows how
the watermark will appear. You can also specify whether the
watermark appears in the foreground or background, and on
which pages it appears. This feature is not available for
Windows NT.

Paper Handling

Layout
Use this feature to print multiple page images on the printed
page, including 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 16. This gives you the ability
to print pamphlets, storyboards, or thumbnail layouts. You
can also print a border around the page image (except for 1
page only).
Unprintable Area
Use this setting to specify the area on the edge of the paper
that cannot be printed on. This setting overrides margins set
in the application.

Graphics

Resolution
Print resolution is measured by the number of dots per inch
(dpi) in an image. The higher the number is, the finer the
resolution. Resolution can be set to 600 dpi (the default) or
1200 dpi.
note:
1200 dpi is only available when 80 MB of RAM are
installed in the printer (96 MB of RAM are required for
printing legal size paper).
Sharp Edge Technology
Specifies whether or not NEC's Sharp Edge Technology (SET)
should be used. SET is only available with 600dpi. It refines
the print quality of characters and line art by smoothing the
fine gradations along the edge of the printed image. It is best
to turn this feature OFF for color photo images.
Halftoning
If graphic images in your document do not print correctly,
use these settings to adjust screen frequency and angle. For
example, use this when screened images show a moiré
pattern.
Negative Image
If you select this, black and white values are reversed and
RGB colors print as their complements.
