This is useful, for instance, if you want to create a PostScript file and print it on a different product. Encapsulated PostScript (EPS). Use this setting to include the file as an image in another document that is to be printed from a different program. Archive Format. Use this setting to create a PostScript file that you can use later.
TrueType Font Download Option offers the following settings: Automatic (default ) Outline Bitmap Native TrueType
The PostScript Language Level specifies which PostScript language level to use, from 1 to the highest level that your product supports. Some products support multiple levels. It is usually best to select the highest level that is available, because a higher language-level provides more features. In some instances, however, you would still use level 1. For example, if you are printing a file to disk and that file will be printed by someone who has a level-1 printer, you would need to select level 1. The PostScript Language Level spin box offers settings 1 through 3. Send PostScript Error Handler specifies whether a PostScript error handler message is sent. If you want the product to print an error page when an error occurs in the print job, click Yes. Mirrored Output specifies mirrored print output. Click Yes to print a mirror image of your document by reversing the horizontal coordinates. Negative Output specifies print output similar to a film negative. Click Yes to print a negative of the image by reversing the values for black and white.

setting. For example, for the HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp, trays 1 and 4 are listed in both the Form to Tray Assignment setting and the Installable Options setting. The input trays listed here are also listed as media sources on the Page Setup tab.

Font Substitution Table

Clicking this option opens the font substitution table and makes available the options for changing the TrueType-to-PostScript font mapping.
PostScript Configurations
The following controls are available and appear in the PS Emulation Driver. Available PostScript Memory This control specifies the amount of available postscript memory and provides a spin box for changing this value. The available postscript memory is a subset of the product total physical memory. It is usually best to set the postscript memory to match what is shown on the configuration page. To print a configuration page from the control panel, press the Select button (the one with the check mark) to open the menus. Next, press the up and down buttons to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press the SELECT button. Next, press the up and down buttons to scroll to PRINT CONFIGURATION, and then press the SELECT button. Output Protocol This control specifies the protocol that the product uses for print jobs. The following options are available: ASCII (default) TBCP Binary
When you click ASCII, data is sent in ASCII format (7-bit), which might take longer to print but can be sent through any I/O channel, such as a serial, parallel, or network port. When you click TBCP (Tagged Binary Communications Protocol), all data except special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and are faster than sending data in ASCII format. When you click Binary, all data except special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and are faster than sending data in ASCII format. Send Ctrl-D Before Each Job This control specifies whether the product will be reset at the beginning of every postscript document. The default setting is No. Ctrl-D resets the product to its default setting to ensure that previous print jobs do not affect the current print job. Ctrl-D might cause a print job to fail if the product is connected through a network. If your document fails to print when sent to a product connected through parallel or serial ports, change No to Yes.

For information about media sizes, see the Media attributes section of this guide. Custom Paper Size The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click the Custom. button on the Paper/ Quality tab. The following illustration shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.
Figure 4-5 Custom Paper Size dialog box Name Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom media size. The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions: If a saved custom media size has been selected from the drop-down menu on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the name of the selected custom media size. If a standard media size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the default name of "Custom." If a new name has been typed into the Name text box for the purpose of saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the text box until the new size is saved or the dialog box is closed.
If you type a new name into the Name text box, but then do not click the Save button, you should be able to change the width and height values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking the Save button, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning.
Paper size The width and height values can be changed by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes in the Paper Size group box. Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height control is rounded up to the minimum valid entry. If units are in millimeters, the custom media-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. The custom media-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the last valid entry. Width and height entries are validated when the focus has changed. The resolution of each control is one millimeter or one-tenth of an inch, depending on the current measurement units. Units To change measurement units, select one of the radio buttons in the Units group box (either Inches or Millimeters). Custom width and height control limits The minimum media size for the HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp is 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) and the maximum is 215.9 x 355.6 mm (8.5 x 14 inches). The following table summarizes media size limits for each media-handling device.

If you choose to print more than one page per sheet, the pages appear smaller and are arranged on the sheet in the order that they would otherwise be printed. The Pages per Sheet drop-down menu provides six settings: 1 page per sheet (this is the default) 2 pages per sheet 4 pages per sheet 6 pages per sheet 9 pages per sheet 16 pages per sheet NOTE When you select an option other than 2 pages per sheet, booklet printing is unavailable. Print Page Borders Related controls indented beneath the Pages per Sheet edit box are Print Page Borders and Page Order, which become active when Pages per Sheet is greater than 1. Print Page Borders sets a line around each page image on a printed sheet to help visually define the borders of each logical page. Page Order The Page Order drop-down menu contains four selections: Right, then Down Down, then Right

Figure 4-15 Page-order preview images 2 pages per sheet 4 pages per sheet 6 pages per sheet 9 pages per sheet 16 pages per sheet
The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side up. The document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of the Paper/Quality, Effects, Finishing, and Output tabs. Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image. When you move the mouse over the document preview image, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the document preview image.
