Quality Tab
Set the print quality options in this tab. The available Quality options depend on
the Document Type and Paper Type settings. Under some conditions only one
option will be available.
Select from the following settings by clicking on the appropriate radio buttons.
Resolution
Set the printing resolution in this setting. The larger the
numbers, the higher the resolution, and the longer it takes
to print.
• 1200 x 600 dpi
Full color 1200 dpi printing is available only when Photo
Realistic Paper or Laser Paper is selected. When printing
Monochrome pictures and text in 1200 x 600 dpi, Laser
Paper or Plain Paper should be selected in the Paper
Type setting.
• 600 x 600 dpi
Can be used when printing on smooth paper, etc.
• 300 x 300 dpi
Good for fairly rough surfaces of plain paper.
Printing Option
Set the printing density and speed in this box.
• None
This is the default option.
• Enhanced Monochrome
Use this mode to print the same data twice, so that a
higher density black can be printed on plain paper. How-
ever, it doubles the ink cartridge consumption and print-
ing time.
• Monochrome Faster
Select this for faster printing. The printer will not perform
the curl correction before ejecting the paper.
Halftone
The setting here controls how the halftone of an im-
age is processed and printed. The finer the halftone
dither, the more smoothly the tones and gradations
will be rendered. With rougher paper, however, a
coarser dither may produce a better printed image.
• No Halftoning
Halftoning is not used. The image is printed in
black and white only. Areas over 50% gray are
printed as solid black.
• Standard dither
A regular level gradation is provided during mono-
chrome printing. Gradation suitable for paper with
a coarse surface is provided during full color print-
ing.
• Fine dither
Fine gradation for full color printing is provided.
• Super fine dither
This can be selected only for full color Photo Re-
alistic Finishing (glossy finish) at 1,200 dpi.
