Configure printing

The printer can print in several different modes for the combination of quality, resolution, and speed that
you require.

The resolution is determined by the resolution at which the job was rasterized by the external RIP. The
Print Mode is selectable at the control panel. The actual print speed is determined by the combination
of output quality, print length and width, and printing delay selected at the control panel (described
below).
