Adjusting The Resolution - Canon LBP-5100 User Manual

■ Adjusting the resolution

It does not matter how high the resolution of printing data is, you cannot get better picture
quality than the resolution of the printer. A resolution of 600 dpi at printer sizes is
sufficient. If the resolution of print data is too high, print processing will take a large
amount of time, and the data size will also grow. Conversely, if the data resolution is too
low, you cannot achieve sufficient image quality.
Check the dimensions and resolution of print data using an image processing application,
and set the resolution to 300 dpi or 200 dpi.
