InDesign

PostScript printing options

Choose from the following options in the Graphics area of the Print dialog box to specify how PostScript information is sent to the printer.

PostScript
Specifies a level of compatibility with the interpreters in PostScript output devices.

Data Format
Specifies how InDesign sends the image data from your computer to a printer. ASCII is sent as ASCII text, which is compatible with older networks and parallel printers and is usually the best choice for graphics used on multiple platforms. Binary exports as binary code, which is more compact than ASCII but may not be compatible with all systems.
Note: InDesign cannot always change the data format used by EPS or DCS graphics files. If you experience problems sending data as Binary, try changing the data format of EPS or DCS graphics in the source application instead.
