The command line options -Pcmz -Pamz of dvips requests type 1 postscript format for the standard Computer Modern fonts of TEX.
TextAlphaBits, GraphicsAlphaBits: The number of bits of anti-aliasing information for text or graphics respectively. Legal values are 1 (no anti-aliasing, the default for most devices), 2, or 4.
-x: magnification * 1000. A variant of \magnification. Should use values for which the printers can support the font sizes. Typically, 1.2{\tt\string^}i * 1000.
