Choosing a print encoding
method
By default, the printer driver transfers binary
information to printers; however, you can
choose to transfer image data using JPEG or
ASCII encoding.
JPEG-encoded files are smaller than binary files,
and therefore require less time to print; however,
using JPEG encoding decreases the image quality.
Only PostScript Level 2 (or higher) printers
support JPEG encoding; sending a JPEG-encoded
file to a PostScript Level 1 output device may result
in PostScript language errors.
