Choosing the print quality
You can change the print quality or resolution of printouts to favor speed or detail. If you need high quality output, choose a higher number. Please note that doing so reduces the print speed.
There are three levels of print output, 600 dpi, Class 1200 dpi, and 1200 dpi. Class 1200 dpi provides high quality printing results on par with 1200 dpi with the Enh.MG and RITech functions (under 600 dpi).
 |
Open the Basic Settings dialog box.
|
 |
Select Automatic on Print Quality, and select the desired printing resolution from the Resolution drop-down list.
|
 |  |
Note:
|
| | -
If printing is unsuccessful or a memory-related error message appears, selecting a lower resolution may allow printing to proceed.
|
| | -
For details of the Enh.MG or RITech functions, see the Online Help.
