The Graphics Settings group box includes two options for Complex Graphics. These
options let you determine which method to use for managing memory for print jobs. Use
HP MEt (Memory Enhancement technology) is the default selection. This is the best
choice unless you are receiving printer memory error messages. If you receive such error
messages, change this setting to Use More Memory to complete the current print job.
Then, change the setting back to the default: Use HP MEt.
The Output Settings group box contains controls for selecting Resolution
Enhancement Technology (REt), Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG), Print all Text as
Black, and Edge-to-Edge Printing.
The HP LaserJet 8150 printer supports Resolution Enhancement technology (REt).
The REt feature is on by default, but you can choose to turn it off.
The Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature is implemented to address the moiré effect
created when certain applications encounter certain patterns. This feature allows you to
turn off the pattern scaling. What you lose is WYSIWYG with patterns, but the printed
result might look better. The feature works only with programs that use vector hatch
patterns. This option is on by default.
Print all Text as Black is off by default. When selected, this option will cause the driver
to image all text as black regardless of the original document text color. White text
remains white. This setting does not affect graphic images on the page. Print all Text as
Blackremains selected only for the current print job. When the current print job is
completed, Print all Text as Black is turned off automatically.
Edge-to-Edge printing is off by default. When selected, this option lets you increase the
default printable area to within 2 mm of the edge of the selected media. This setting
remains selected only for the current print job. When the current print job is completed,
Edge-to-Edge printing defaults is turned off automatically.
In the Font Settings group box, the only available options is Send TrueType as
Bitmaps, which provides a safety net for applications that have trouble using TrueType
fonts for special graphic purposes, such as shading, rotation, or slanting.
