Note: For PCL jobs, DocuPrint NPS supports 300 and 600 dpi
printing only.
To obtain the best image quality on the DocuPrint NPS, choose the
correct printer setup attributes when generating a document on your
personal computer.
Refer to the "Appearance Consistency" section in the "PostScript"
chapter for more information on resolution.
The following table shows the recommended printer settings in order
of preference:
•
The recommended choice is listed in the 300 dpi vector
graphics settings column. The print quality of an object that is
created in HP-GL/2 mode is very consistent. Because the
image is not a bitmap, the data is not skewed.
•
The second choice is listed in the 600 dpi vector graphics
settings column. Because you are using an image that is not a
bitmap, the data will not be skewed and the differences would
be difficult to detect.
•
The last choice is listed in the 300 dpi raster graphics settings
column. The print quality deteriorates if the image is a
rasterized bitmap, which leaves some white space where the
bits are not formulated.

Keep the following points in mind when preparing your images and
setting print attributes:
•
Page protection, orientation, and memory are not values that
affect the image quality.
•
Setting the graphics quality to HIGH allows for the best possible
output.
•
Setting print quality to printer default allows the printer to
determine the best match for the job.
•
The DocuPrint 92C NPS can produce a single-pixel line.
However, because of the many variables involved, such as print
