The quality modes
Introduction
The Océ ColorWave 300 enables you to select the correct quality mode for your output
requirements. You can 
define the required quality mode in the printer driver. You can
define
 the default quality mode in 
the Océ Express WebTools.
The
 Quality modes Use 
these modes to define the output quality. You can select the following.
The
 output quality #
Function
Quality mode
The 
print speed is maximum. This quality mode is used for
fast printing of (line) drawings with good output quality. For
other types 
of jobs, like print jobs with area coverages, you
can
 
use this quality mode to check if all the information is
visible
 on the printed output. For these print jobs the output
quality is good.
'Check'
The

 
print speed is very high. This quality mode is best for
drawings,
 very good for images and provides a good combi-
nation of output quality and productivity. In this quality
mode

 the printer will automatically optimize the print qual-
ity and the productivity based on the file content. Drawings
will 
be printed twice as fast as images, resulting in optimal
productivity and quality for most 
customers.
The Océ ColorWave 300 further offers  Dynamic
 switching
Technology .
 In case a print job has mixed contents (drawings
and images), the printer will adjust the print quality and the
productivity automatically during the print process, without
customer 
intervention.
'Release'
Select this quality mode if you need the best possible output
quality. Especially for images, posters. The 
print speed is
high. 'Presentation'
