Using a document of your choice, 'Print' it with the checkbox OFF, and 'Print'
a copy with the checkbox ON.  Using ResEdit, compare the PREC resources that
have been stored with the document.  Near the bottom you will find that they
differ in exectly 1 (one) bit.  Turn that bit on in the PREC(0) and PREC(1)
resources in the print driver.
