8. Click Graphics in the list of categories.

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.

10. Choose Subset in the Fonts Download menu.
This 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.

11. Check the Download PPD Fonts option.

Professional-quality output devices include a number of resident fonts, from just a
few to the entire Adobe type library. If this 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.)
