Inpage: Printing
Printing can be carried out on any of the MS Windows compatible printers. You first need to choose the
printer using Printer Setup dialog. For help in setting up the Printer, click on the Help button in the Printer
Setup Dialog box.
 Printing through non Postscript Printers
For non-postscript printers there is a checkbox "Print Truetype as Graphics". If you are not using downloaded
fonts on the printer, this option should be checked ON to enable InPage to send Truetype font information
to the printer.
 Printing through Postscript Printers
For Postscript printers, from the Options dialog you can choose the advanced options button. In this dialog
box, you can either send Truetype fonts as postscript fonts or as Bitmap. For printing to printer without the
downloaded fonts, you should select the Send Truetype as Type 1 option.
If you want to print using already downloaded fonts, you should print through a printer driver which
supports the following options. Adobe Default Printer driver or Accel-A-Writer printer drivers are two such
drivers. Within the Truetype font option set "Don't Send" TrueType fonts. Also within the Postscript option
check the "Do not download fonts" checkbox. Now if you print, the postscript file which is sent to the printer
does not have font information. It just has the names of the fonts, and the font information it picks up from
the printer.
 Downloading fonts to the Printer Hard disk
Look into your printer manual on initializing the printer hard disk and downloading the fonts to this hard
disk. Usually there are lot of utilities which allow you to initialize the printer hard disk and download fonts.
 Postscript Printers (Setting Options)
To verify the basic setup of Customized PostScript Printer, click Properties button in the Print dialog box. This
will lead you to an Options dialog box in which you can set the various attributes.
