are clearly defined and sensitive to any loss of image information. The compression PlanetPress Design applies to line

art images is lossless. Note that Line art quality only works with PostScript Level 3. If you select Line art for images,

and the PPD you select for the document is not for a PostScript Level 3 printer, PlanetPress Design automatically

switches the image quality from Line art to Photo, and applies the compression level set for Photo quality. In most

cases this results in a noticeable degradation of quality. One solution is to adjust the compression level to 100%. A com-

pression level of 100% means PlanetPress Design does not perform any compression. This preserves all of the image

information in the line art images, at the expense of not performing any compression on any of the images in the Files

to download list.

Image compression level: Set the compression level you want the Image Downloader to use when you select

Photo in the Image quality box. Legal values are 1 to 100.

Force PostScript mode: Select this option when the destination printer is used for printing jobs in other formats

such as PJL, and whenPlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools is not sending the output to the printer’s hard disk. When this

option is selected, PlanetPress Design inserts the following command statement

[Esc]%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE =

POSTSCRIPT

to precede the document as well as any other command statement.

5. Click Download.

For each of the image files in the Files to download list, the Image Downloader makes a copy of the file. It then applies

any resolution, scan orientation, color, or file name modifications you specified, to the copy. Finally it converts the copy

to PostScript and downloads it to each of the destinations selected in the Copy to list. If it cannot download some or all

of the images, it displays an error message to this effect.

To create a file of images, along with the PostScript code to install them on a printer:

1. Choose Tools | Application | Image Downloader.

2. In the Image Downloader dialog box, select the image files you want to copy. All image files you select must be in

one of the supported image formats (BMP, EPS, JPEG, PDF, PNG, TIFF). If you want to download bitmapped images

with a mix of image qualities, you should download each type of image quality separately. This is because you can set

only one image quality for all images in a download.

3. Adjust the image settings for the download. The Image Downloader applies these settings to all of the images in the

Files to download list.

4. Click Save to file.

5. In the Save As dialog box, navigate to folder in which you want to save the file, and enter a name for the file.

6. Click Save.

To select the images to download or save in a file:

1. In the Image Downloader dialog box, click the Browse button at the top right of the Files to download list to display

the Open dialog box.
