20 SuperScript 4400 — Maintenance GuidePostScript OptionsThere are several settings you can use to customize the way the driver processes print jobsPostScript Output FormatThese settings control the way the driver creates the PostScript language descriptions for page images.Optimize for Speed: Check this for faster printing. This option may cause a problem for some print jobs if theprinter does not have enough memory.Optimize for Portability-ADSC: Check this to ensure that the document can be printed on any PostScriptprinter. Documents may take longer to print when this option is selected. This option is useful if the printer haslimited memory, because it creates smaller documents.Encapsulated PostScript (EPS): Use this to print your document as a single-page image that will beincorporated into another file. You must also select Output to File.Archive Format: Use this to create a PostScript data stream that gets stored in a file to be used later.PostScript HeaderYou can control whether the driver sends a PostScript header with each document. If the printer is shared on anetwork, this option should be used. However, if you are on a local printer, you can save time by sending theheader just once to the printer, where it is retained and printed with each job.Error HandlingYou can send an error handler with each print job. Then, if an error occurs, the printer prints a page with a messagedescribing the nature of the error. You or a technician can use this information to diagnose the problem.PostScript Timeout ValuesThese settings define timeout periods allowed when the driver communicates with the printer. Enter a value from0 to 999 seconds. When zero is entered, the printer will wait indefinitely. If you printer is shared, do not specify avalue of zero.Job Timeout: This is the maximum number of seconds the printer can take to print a single job. If the printjob takes more time to print than the timeout value, the printer may stop printing and prepare to receive a newdocument.Wait Timeout: This is the maximum number of seconds the printer will wait for data from the computer.While receiving a print job, the printer driver may pause to build a PostScript language description of eachpage. For complicated pages, which take longer to build, you may need to set a higher wait time.Advanced OptionsAdvance options allow you to optimize printer performance, but generally should not be changed unless you havespecific reasons to do so. Use the driver Online Help feature for more information on these settings.Device OptionsYou can use settings on the Device Options to match the attached printer configuration so that the printer drivercan generate optimized PostScript code.Available printer memorySet this to match the amount of memory you have installed in the printer. [functional??]Available font cacheThe driver automatically adjusts the font cache size based on installed memory. Increase this amount for betterperformance of Type 32 bitmap fonts.Installable optionsUse this area to change the settings when you add options, including Tray 2, or more RAM memory.
