Fine 2400 dpi class. The finest print mode. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since the print data is much larger than in normal mode, processing time / data transfer time and printing time will be longer. Note The print speed will change depending on what print quality setting you choose. Higher print quality takes longer to print, while lower print quality takes less time to print. (HL-3040CN only) If you choose Fine, the LCD may show Out of Memory because the printer’s memory is full.
