Enhancing Print Quality Appendix Enhancing Print Quality341 Appendixes Enhancing Print Quality B There are several ways to customize the printer settings to meet your specific print quality needs. Enhanced print quality some- times comes at a cost, such as increased print time or additional memory requirements. There may be times when you prefer to chooseprintersettingsthatdon’tplaceasgreatademandonthe printer resources. This information may help you make decisions about your net- work default settings, or help you determine the best print quality settings for a particular job. For information about solving print quality problems, see “Print Quality Problems” on page 201. Definitions Before talking about print quality, it is important to establish the terms used to define certain aspects of the printing process. For the purposes of the discussion in this chapter, we offer the following definitions: Pixel The smallest graphic unit that can be addressed by the printer, usually a single dot; also called apicture elementorpel.
Enhancing Print Quality342 Enhancing Print Quality Appendixes Binary The ability to turn a pixel on or off, as opposed to assigning it a range of intensities; single-color printers (monochrome printers) are binary. Continuous Tone The ability to represent many levels of intensity for a single pixel, as opposed to simply turning the pixel on or off. Resolution The spacing of pixels the printer can address and resolve individu- ally, usually measured in the number of dots per inch (dpi). Text Alphabetic and numeric characters and symbols. Graphics Any of a variety of pictorial representations, including basic line art, charts, and graphs, usually electronically generated from a software application. Images Visual data typically scanned from original sources external to the PC, such as photographs or video frames. Gray Scales Graphics or images consisting of gray dots representing a range of intensities, as opposed to black only dots; gray scale objects must be converted to halftones before they can be printed on a binary printer.
343Enhancing Print Quality Enhancing Print Quality Appendixes Halftones Gray-scale objects (such as photographs) whose gray dots have been converted to a pattern of groups of black dots. These groups, which are of various sizes, along with the white dots (pixels turned off), create the illusion of gray shadings: larger groups make the image appear black or dark gray, while smaller groups make the image appear light gray. Screen Frequency The distance between the centers of the groups of black dots, mea- sured in lines per inch (lpi); although the group size varies in a halftone image, the screen frequency remains constant. Print Quality Overview Use the following diagram as an easy guide to help you select the optimum print quality for your application.
Enhancing Print Quality344 Enhancing Print Quality Appendixes Print Quality Settings Several factors control the appearance of the printed page. You can regulate how much toner the printer applies to each black dot, or pixel, as well as the frequency and size of the dots. Each of the following sections describes a printer setting you can change to alter the appearance of the printed document. Note that some of these settings complement each other, while others are mutually exclusive. See the table on page 347 for a summary. 1200 Image Quality 300 dpi/PQET (Toner Saver) 600 dpi/PQET1200 dpi Higher Print Quality More Memory Required Potentially Increased Print Time Ultimate quality mode for mixed image and text Preferable to 1200 image quality mode if printed pages are to be photocopied High quality pictures and images Does not enhance text or line art Excellent general purpose Internal reports System printouts Use with toner saver when economy is most important PRINT QUALITY
