Enhance Fine Text
This option only applies when printing with a dye-
sublimation ribbon type. When selected, this
option allows the Color Sign Printer to apply a
software-based spatial filter. This filter brings out
the fine detail of smaller text and lines and allows
them to print with much greater definition and
clarity. Image processing time will increase when
using this option.
Write Direct to Port
Selecting this option provides the fastest print
processing if printing through a standard parallel
port which is not ECP compatible, if printing
exclusively from Windows 3.1x, or if having
difficulty printing with the included 32-Bit Print
Spooler. When selected, this option allows the
printer driver to bypass the Windows 3.1x Print
Manager or the system spooler of Windows 95 and
to send all print data directly to the Color Sign
Printer. This option devotes all of your system
resources to the current print job, thereby
increasing overall print speed. When the print job
is finished, your system resources will again be
released and devoted to the normal function of
your on-screen applications.
Depending upon the processing speed and brand
of your computer, you may or may not need to
select this option when printing with the Color
Sign Printer. For most computers with a non-ECP
compatible parallel port, selecting this option will
enhance the speed of the rasterizing and printing
process. In this case, the Write Direct to Port
option should be selected. For some computers,
however, this option may not be supported by the
particular brand of PC and should not be selected.
Fast 32-bit Spooler
Select this option for consistently faster print
processing under Windows 95. This option is only
selectable if operating under Windows 95 and if
the included 32-Bit Print Spooler software has been
installed. When selected, this option allows the
printer driver to send all print jobs to the Color
Sign PrinterÕs 32-Bit Print Spooler rather than to
the Windows 95 print spooler. See Part C of this
section for complete details on the 32-Bit Print
Spooler. This option and the 32-Bit Print Spooler
software will not function in Windows 3.1x.
