Print using (Windows)
The Print using pop-up menu lets you choose between printing an image or saving
the image to disk. It has two to four options, depending on your system
configuration:
TCP/IP Available if a TCP/IP stack is installed and running. From Printer
model, choose a printer. Add and delete printers in the list, and edit the
printer configurations.

TCP/IP is the fastest printing method; it prints jobs in much less time than the
Parallel Port or Printer Driver methods, and is the recommended method if it is
available for the printer you are using.
Local Port Available if you have local ports installed in your PC. From the
Port Name, choose the desired printer port.
Printer Driver Prints the image through the selected printer driver. From
Driver Name, choose a printer.
PostScript file Saves an image to disk as a PostScript file. Click Save; a
dialog box lets you choose a new or existing file for saving the PostScript
code.
When selected, the File format pop-up menu becomes available. This
pop-up menu has two options: ASCII base-85 and Binary.
ASCII base-85 Image data is encoded using an ASCII base-85 filter
during file output, making the resulting PostScript file portable so that
it can be downloaded through interface ports that don't support
binary data. Note that the file may be up to 25% larger.
Binary Image data is output in binary format. Recommended for
network printing only (not for the parallel port).
