6.19 Compressed Bitmaps

The user can direct the PostScript driver to compress bitmaps before sending them to the printer by setting the Compress Bitmap option in the Advanced Options dialog box. Compressing bitmaps speeds up the generation of the PostScript output but slows down the printer itself (PostScript printers need more time to decompress the bitmaps). This option is recommended only if the user is more concerned about having the printing application finish quickly than with how long it takes to get the printout.
