9. Choose Optimized Subsampling in the Images Send Data menu.

This menu determines how much data is sent to the output device for
placed images.
• All, the default option, sends full-resolution image data.
• Optimized Subsampling sends only the necessary data to
output the best possible resolution on the printer you are using.
• Proxy outputs low-resolution screen previews, which reduces
the time required for output.
• None outputs all placed images as gray frames with crossed
diagonal lines. This is useful for reviewing overall placement
when developing an initial layout comp.
If you are using a compatible output device, the Fonts Download menu
determines how much font data is downloaded to the printer. (Font
data is required by the output device to print the job correctly.)
• None sends no font information to the printer. (This can cause
output problems, especially if you use TrueType fonts.)
• Complete sends the entire font file for every font that is used in the document.
• Subset sends font information only for the characters that are used in the
document.

Professional-quality output devices include a number of resident fonts, from just a
few to the entire Adobe type library. If the Download PPD Fonts option is checked,
InDesign sends data for all fonts in the document, even if those fonts are installed on the
output device. (This can be important because different fonts of the same name might
have different font metrics, which can cause text to reflow and appear different in the
print than in the file that you created.)

The PostScript menu defines which level of PostScript to use. Some older devices cannot
process PostScript 3. You should generally leave this menu at the default value. Note:

The Data Format menu defines how image data is transferred. ASCII is compatible with We’re intentionally
older devices, and is useful for cross-platform applications. Binary is smaller than ASCII, skipping the Color
