You can also specify that EpsonScript convert TrueType fonts

to bitmaps before printing them. Converting TrueType fonts to

bitmaps saves some printing time when you are printing

documents that contain a lot of bitmap graphics and only a few

TrueType fonts.

Specifying memory usage

You may encounter printer memory problems when printing

large documents that contain many downloaded fonts. To

resolve memory problems, EpsonScript provides two options

so you can specify memory usage:

Virtual Memory. This option increases the amount of

virtual memory your printer has available for storing fonts.

Clear Memory per Page. This option clears all downloaded

fonts from printer memory after each job is printed. This

frees up memory for the next print job.

Graphics settings

EpsonScript allows you to specify the following graphics

settings:

Resolution. Can be 300 or 600 dpi. The higher resolution of

600 dpi produces the sharpest images. However, if you are

encountering printer memory problems, reduce the

resolution to 300 dpi.

Halftone Frequency. Specifies the line screen. The value

you select here depends on the resolution of your image

and the resolution capability of the output device. If you

are using 600 dpi, increase the halftone frequency (line

screen) to at least 110. For 300-dpi output, an 85-line screen

is usually sufficient.
