increase print speed further with the  Fast quality settings
.
• Normal  to get a good combination of print quality and productivity. Ideal for line drawings with good print 
quality and speed.
• Best  to get high print quality. You can increase the resolution of the Best setting with the  Best quality settings
.
You can print images in different settings to see which gives the best combination of throughput and quality for 
your application.

							Advanced optionsYour printer provides several advanced optimization and quality enhancement features to allow you to obtain the 
printed results you require.• Improving line quality and graphics details
 
• Best quality settings
•Fast quality settings
 
						

							Improving line quality and graphics details
The Set-up  menu  Optimize for  option allows you to select the correct mode for the type of job you are printing. 
Two modes are provided:  Line drawings/text and Images .
Selecting the  Line drawings/text  option smooths the fine graduations along the angles and curves of the printed 
image to refine overall print quality. This enhancement produces:
• Crisper lines
•Finer detail
• Line drawings with a ‘sharp’ appearance
The  Line drawings/text  option affects only prints that have color content.
Selecting  Line drawings/text  (the default setting) ensures you will always get the best quality color prints, except 
when printing the following files:
• Mixed lines and scanned color images
• Mixed lines and color photographs
For these files it is recommended that you select  Optimize for > Images .
 
						

							Best quality settings
If you have selected the Best option as the Print quality
 setting for your print session but require an even higher 
resolution for your print job, you will need to change the Best quality setting.
The Best print quality option provides 600×600 dpi resolution in normal mode and 2400×1200 dpi in maximum 
detail mode.
NOTE: Using the maximum detail mode will improve resolution but will reduce printing speed and 
increase memory requirements.
Use the following procedure to select maximum detail mode:
Select (using the   keys)  Then press:
1. Set-up menu Enter
2. Advanced options Enter
3. Best Quality Settings Enter
4. Maximum detail Enter
 
						

							Fast quality settings
If you have selected the Fast option as the Print quality
 setting for your print session, you can increase the printing 
speed further by selecting the increased speed mode. This can be done from the front panel only, because it is 
not available as an option in the printer driver.
Use the following procedure to select increased speed mode:
Select (using the   keys)  Then press:
1. Set-up menu Enter
2. Advanced options Enter
3. Fast Quality Settings Enter
4. Increased speed Enter
