Making the dots four or five times larger, however,
can make the bitmaps look ragged. The Better
bitmap scaling option works by enlarging the size
of the print enough for all 72-dpi bitmaps to be
printed with an integer dot increase. If this option
is selected, however, the image printed will be
reduced in size by 4%.
Text Anti-Aliasing
This option is only available when printing with
the photo-realistic ribbon type. When selected, this
option will improve the quality of printed text
when using scalable fonts (System 7 TrueType or
Postscript Type 1 fonts with Adobe Type Manager).
Color Bitmap Smoothing
This option is also only available when printing
with the photo-realistic ribbon type. When
selected, this option will improve the appearance
of lower resolution images. Image processing time
will be increased when using this option. This
option is rarely used and only useful for low
resolution images (100 DPI or less).
32 bit QuickDraw
This option is available if the Macintosh has 32 bit
QuickDraw installed (itÕs built in on some
Macintosh models, or supplied as a separate file
for others). Selecting this option increases the
maximum number of colors the FARGO driver can
print from 256 to 16.7 million. Most prints take
longer to process when this option is selected.
Black text on black pass only
Select this option if you wish to print all gray scale
text with the ribbonÕs black panel only. Normally,
when printing gray scale or black text, PrimeraPro
lays down all four of the ribbonÕs color panels. By
laying down only the black panel, PrimeraPro is
able to print black text with more sharpness and
definition. Processing time may slightly increase
when this option is selected.
Intensity
This control alters the lightness or darkness of the
printed image. Use your mouse to slide the box
along the intensity bar or to click on the left or
right arrows to adjust the amount of heat used in
the printing process.
Color matching
Click on the Color Matching box and select the
appropriate color matching option. Select None if
you are more interested in print speed rather than
