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.
Note: Trapping is unavailable when PCL 5c is selected as the PDL.
In Imaging > Trapping, select a value for the print overlap pixel width:
Light, 0.5 pixel trapping
Medium, 1.0 pixel trapping
Heavy, 1.5 pixels trapping
Very heavy, 2.0 pixels trapping

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:
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.
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.
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.
In the Font Settings dialog box, you can specify how TrueType fonts are sent
to the printing system. The chosen method affects the speed and quality of the
print job:

This method is best suited for large documents or print jobs using multiple
fonts and font sizes. Print speeds are faster because of the optimization
features in this setting. The repetition of similar font data sent to the printing
system is reduced, thereby increasing the print speed. Print speed is not
increased when using Asian fonts such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean,
