Omit For OPI
Downloads all fonts used in the document, even if those fonts reside in the printer. Use this option to ensure that InDesign
uses the font outlines on your computer for printing common fonts, such as Helvetica and Times. Using this option can resolve problems with font
versions, such as mismatched character sets between your computer and printer or outline variances in trapping. Unless you commonly use
extended character sets, you don’t need to use this option for desktop draft printing.
PostScript printing options
Choose from the following options in the Graphics area of the Print dialog box to specify how PostScript information is sent to the printer.
Specifies a level of compatibility with the interpreters in PostScript output devices.
Specifies how InDesign sends the image data from your computer to a printer. ASCII is sent as ASCII text, which is compatible with
older networks and parallel printers and is usually the best choice for graphics used on multiple platforms. Binary exports as binary code, which is
more compact than ASCII but may not be compatible with all systems.
InDesign cannot always change the data format used by EPS or DCS graphics files. If you experience problems sending data as Binary, try
changing the data format of EPS or DCS graphics in the source application instead.
Options for omitting graphics
The OPI options in the Advanced area let you selectively omit different imported graphics types when sending image data to a printer or file,
leaving only the OPI links (comments) for later handling by an OPI server.
Enables InDesign to replace low-resolution EPS proxies of graphics with high-resolution graphics at output time. For
OPI image replacement to work, the EPS file must contain OPI comments that link the low-resolution proxy image to the high-resolution image.
InDesign must have access to the graphics linked by the OPI comments. If the high-resolution versions are not available, InDesign preserves the
OPI links and includes the low-resolution proxy in the export file. Deselect this option to have an OPI server replace OPI-linked graphics later in
the workflow.
Lets you selectively omit different imported graphics types (EPS, PDF, and bitmap images) when sending image data to a printer or
file, leaving only the OPI links (comments) for later handling by an OPI server. The comments contain the information needed to locate a high-
resolution image on an OPI server. InDesign only includes the comments; the service provider must have access to the original high-resolution
image on a server at replacement time. The Omit For OPI option doesn’t apply to embedded graphics.
