2.7 Mode

2.7.1 Print Mode

There are three print modes: Normal Mode, High Resolution Mode, and High
Gloss Mode. These modes have sub-categories based on resolution (600 dpi/
1200 dpi) and process speed (full speed/half speed).
When process speed is set to half speed, video data transfer speed to the ROS
is double the 600 dpi speed, yielding 1200 dpi resolution.
1. Use Normal Mode to print at 600 dpi
2. Use High Resolution Mode to print at 1200 dpi on plain paper
3. Use High Gloss Mode at 600 dpi with half speed to improve gloss on plain
paper
Relationships of resolution, process speed, paper and print mode are shown
below.
