    Choosing Advanced Print Options
    The advanced settings give you complete control over your printing 
    environment. If you are using color management setttings in Photoshop or 
    another application, it is very important to access the advanced settings and 
    turn off color management in the printer driver, as described on page 92.
    1. Follow steps 1 through 4 beginning on page 82. 
    2. Click 
    Custom and then click Advanced. 
    You see a window like the following:
    3. If necessary, you can change your 
    Media Type and Color settings.
    These settings 
    give you different 
    options on the 
    lower part of the 
    screen

    4. Choose one of the following Print Quality settings:
    
     Normal - 360dpi 
     Fine - 720dpi 
     SuperFine - 1440dpi 
     SuperPhoto - 2880dpi 
    5. Choose any of the following:
     High Speed for fast, bidirectional printing at lower quality. 
     Flip Horizontal for printing a mirror image of your file. Use with 
    backlight film.
     Finest Detail for sharper edges when printing text, graphics, and 
    line art.
     Edge Smoothing to improve the quality of low-resolution images.
    6. Choose one of the following Color Management settings:
     Color Controls lets you specify individual values for adjusting 
    brightness, contrast, saturation, and CMY inks, or choose from the 
    three Color Control modes. You can also choose from three Gamma 
    settings, which control image contrast by modifying the midtones 
    and midlevel grays. 
     PhotoEnhance allows you to correct noise and other problems 
    common to digital camera images or choose special tone and effect 
    settings. 
     Off (No Color Adjustment) disables color management in the 
    printer driver. Choose this mode when you use a color managed 
    workflow in Photoshop or other software.
    adjusts colors based on the printer’s ICC profile, using the 
    Image Color Matching system and the printer’s Epson Standard 
    profile. In most cases, you will get better results by applying color 
    management in your application, rather than in the printer driver.
    7. If you are using non-Epson media and you need to fine-tune its 
    performance, click the 
    Paper Config button. 
    Note: The Print Quality 
    settings available depend 
    on the Media Type you 
    selected. Choose lower 
    print quality for faster 
    printing, or SuperPhoto - 
    2880dpi for best quality.
    Tip: If you turn off color 
    management, you can 
    still control the ink 
    density, as described 
    on page 93.

    You see the following:
    Select the correct settings to match your ICC profile. These settings 
    override any paper configuration settings you may have made using the 
    printer’s control panel.
     Color Density lets you control the ink saturation level (for example, 
    when you turn off color management in your printer software).
     Drying Time per Print Head Pass lets you print with non-Epson 
    media and avoid smearing the ink. You can make the print head 
    wait up to 5 seconds after each pass to allow ink to dry. 
     Paper Feed Adjustment helps reduce banding. Choose a lower 
    value if you see white lines on your prints, or a higher value if you 
    see dark lines.
     Paper Suction lets you decrease the paper suction level when 
    printing on thinner papers (less than 12 lb), such as CAD drafting 
    paper or backlight film.
     Paper Thickness helps reduce vertical banding and creates a 
    sharper image when printing on unusually thick or thin paper.
    Note:  You may need to 
    change the Color Density 
    setting if your custom 
    profile was created to 
    optimize D-max and color 
    gamut.

     Cut Method
     decreases the cutting blade pressure for thinner media, 
    and adjusts the speed for thick media. You may need to experiment 
    to determine the best setting for your paper.
     Platen Gap lets you fine-tune the setting for various paper 
    thicknesses.
     Eject Roller Type lets you define the eject roller for printing with 
    non-Epson media. You may need to experiment to determine the 
    best setting for your paper.
    8. Click 
    Save Settings if you want to have your advanced settings 
    available for reuse. Then type a name for the group of settings and click 
    Save. The name is added to your list of custom settings.
    9. When you’re finished setting advanced printer options, click 
    OK. 
    Choosing Advanced Black and White Photo Settings
    The Advanced Black and White Photo mode allows you to easily produce 
    neutral and toned black-and-white prints using your Epson driver and offers 
    an alternative black and white workflow. Advanced Black and White Photo 
    mode also provides settings for more advanced black and white control. 
    Whether your photo is color or grayscale, you can use this unique screening 
    and color management technology to create stunning black-and-white 
    prints. This mode is only available when printing on select media types.

    4. You can adjust the following settings:
     Color Toning: Allows you to add tone (hue) to your black and 
    white output. The default is Neutral, which will provide you with a 
    neutral tonal scale print. You can also choose other popular presets 
    such as Cool, Warm, and Sepia. Note that the presets will affect the 
    target found in the Tone Color Circle.
    Allows you to easily change the entire tonal scale of your 
    black and white output. While 
    Darker is the default setting, you 
    may see better results if you choose 
    Dark. 
     Brightness: Adjusts the overall lightness and darkness of your 
    image.
     Contrast: Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of 
    your image.
     Shadow and Highlight Tonality: Allows you to control tonality 
    only in the shadow or highlight areas of your image. 
     Max Optical Density: Adjusts the overall density or focus of the 
    print. Create a soft focus print by setting the density to lower.
     Highlight Point Shift: If your image is prone to gloss differential, 
    checking Highlight Point Shift will help to reduce gloss differential 
    by adding density to the highlights of your image.
     Tone Color Circle: Click on any portion of this color wheel or 
    enter corresponding values to customize the tone (hue) to add to 
    your black and white print. The closer you select to the edge of the 
    wheel, the more color you will add to your black and white print.
     Preview: Approximates the image tone based on your settings. 
    Please note this preview will always be of the same image and is not 
    color managed. It is just to be used to give you a level of feedback as 
    you make changes.

    Managing Print Jobs
    Your printer comes with several utilities that let you check on your print jobs 
    and cancel, pause, or restart them. 
    The Progress Meter opens each time you send a print job. Status Monitor 3, 
    which appears on the taskbar when you print, lets you check the printer’s 
    status and monitor print jobs. 
    Using the Progress Meter
    After you send a print job, the Progress Meter window appears:
    You can use the buttons to cancel, pause, or restart your print job. You also 
    see how much ink you have left and view printing tips. 
    If you don’t want the Progress Meter to appear, you can turn it off. See 
    page 99 for instructions.
    Click to cancel

    Setting Monitoring Preferences and Optimizing Print 
    Speed
    You can choose when and how you want to be notified of problems, whether 
    you want a Status Monitor 3 icon to appear on your Windows taskbar, and 
    whether you want to allow monitoring by other users who share the printer. 
    You can also use the Speed and Progress utility to improve printing speed. 
    1. Do one of the following:
    Windows XP: Click Start and select Printers and Faxes. 
    Right-click your printer icon and select 
    Printing Preferences. 
    Windows 2000: Click Start, point to Settings, then select 
    Printers. Right-click your printer icon and select Properties, 
    Document Defaults, or Printing Preferences.
    2. Click the 
    Utility tab, then click the Speed & Progress button. You see 
    the Speed & Progress window:
    Note: If you want to 
    disable display of the 
    progress meter during 
    printing, you can click the 
    Show Progress Meter 
    checkbox to deselect it.

    3. Select from the following options:
     High Speed Copies speeds up printing of multiple copies of the 
    same document using hard disk space as a cache. If you have 
    multiple hard drives, you can select a different drive to spool to.
     Show Progress Meter lets you control whether or not the Progress 
    Meter is displayed when you send a print job. 
     Always spool RAW datatype lets you spool documents using the 
    RAW format instead of the EMF (metafile) format. Because the 
    RAW format requires fewer resources, printing is faster and you can 
    avoid certain problems, such as insufficient memory or disk space.
     Page Rendering Mode speeds printing by rendering the entire 
    page. Use this setting if print speed is extremely slow or the print 
    head stops for a few minutes while printing. Printing will take 
    longer to start.
     Coarse Rendering allows you to override the length or width 
    limitations in applications (such as Photoshop) that restrict the 
    number of pixels you can print.
     allows large or complex vector graphics to print 
    faster in Adobe Acrobat® or any other non-image based application.

    and you want to let other users monitor it. 
    8. Click 
    OK to save your settings.
    9. Click 
    OK to close the Speed & Progress window and return to the
