selected as the print quality, the tri-color print cartridge prints in the 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi mode.
To print with 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi, select Maximum dpi as the print quality on the
Paper/Quality tab in the printer driver. See

*Up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi for color printing and 1200 input dpi. This setting might temporarily
use a large amount of hard disk space (400 MB or more) and will print slower. Photo cartridge, if
present, further enhances the print quality.
