Printing as an Image

If it takes time to print, selecting [Image] in print mode may shorten the print time.
The function is only for the Windows PCL printer driver.

- If the machine is set to a shared printer, connected via the WSD/IPP port, or used under the remote desktop client
environment, colors may not be reproduced with an optimal tone.
- Overlay printing, printing with Printer font or Trapping cannot be used.
- If an inadequate setting is selected in other functions when [Print Mode] is set to [Image], the warning message to
solve the contention appears.
- If the machine is not connected or in the offline state due to an error, etc., an alert may be displayed.
- The result in tones or expressions may differ from that printed [PCL] in [Print Mode].
