HP LaserJet 4250/4350 Series - Software Technical Reference

resolution may also result in longer printing times. The following resolution options are available in
the HP Traditional HP Traditional PCL 5e Driver driver for the HP LaserJet 4250/4350 printers:
■ 300 dpi
■ 600 dpi
Resolution Enhancement technology (REt)
REt refines the print quality of characters by smoothing out jagged edges that can occur on the
angles and curves of a printed image. It is On by default. Select Off if graphics, particularly scanned
images, are not printing clearly.
Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG)
Use the Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature to address the moiré effect that is created when certain
programs encounter certain patterns. Use this feature 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 selected by default.
Print all Text as Black
The Print All Text as Black feature is not selected by default. When the feature is selected, the
driver prints all text as black regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as
black, except for white text, which remains white. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse
typeface against a dark background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor
does it affect any text that is part of a graphic.
Font Settings
In the Font Settings group box, the only available option is Send TrueType as Bitmaps, which
provides an alternative for software programs that cannot easily use TrueType fonts for special
graphic purposes, such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The Send TrueType as Bitmaps check box
is not selected (clear) by default. If you select this option, the driver sends TrueType fonts to the
product as outlines, which retains the standard format (outlines) of the fonts.
Effects tab features
The Effects tab is used to create unique media effects such as scaling and watermarks. The
following illustration shows the Effects tab.
