Using the Draft print mode effectively

Converting documents to graphics and printing them is a slow
process, so EPSON Print! provides a Draft print mode to allow
you to take advantage of some of your printer's speed capabilities.
The Draft print mode gives the fastest printout of the text in a
document while approximating the layout of the document as
closely as possible.
In the Draft print mode, the graphic elements of the document are
not printed, and text is printed using the printer's resident fonts
rather than the selected Macintosh fonts. These printer fonts print
very quickly, but can only approximate the final layout of your
document. The Draft print mode is useful for reviewing the text in
your document before you print the final copy using the Graphics
print mode.
You can also use the Draft print mode to print specialized
documents, such as forms or spreadsheets, where fast printing,
and not a beautiful graphic layout, is the final goal. lit this case
you will want the text to print so that the columns and text align
properly.
To ensure proper text alignment for these documents, the font you
select on your Macintosh must match the spacing of the printer's
resident fonts. A fixed-pitch typewriter style font, like Courier,
Prints only the text part of the document (no
graphics), using the printer's built-in fonts.
The text size and position may not be exactly
the same as the on-screen text, since the driver
uses the printer's fonts only.
