HP Designjet 4500 Printer series - Manual (Page 183)

send the print job to the printer. There are from one to three options available, depending on license
and printer configurations.
● Windows is the default and is always available, regardless of the printer in use. It allows the
application to use the installed HP-GL/2 and RTL driver.
● PostScript is available only if your printer supports PostScript and the PostScript driver was
selected in the Name section. This allows you to output the file as a Postscript file. This option
may be useful in certain specific cases, but in general it is not recommended.
● ArcPress is an extension that can be purchased for printing from ArcGIS. It is a software RIP
that takes the original metafile and rasterizes it before sending it to the printer, so that the
printer does not need to rasterize it. This is beneficial because some printers are not capable of
rasterization or do not have enough memory to process large jobs. Use ArcPress always with
HP RTL (RGB) TrueColor.
