Using Various Print Functions

This section briefly describes various print functions that you can use to make
printouts appropriate for your purposes. For details about the functions below,
see the printer driver Help.

Print Quality Functions

Print quality and color tone can be adjusted to suit the print data. Some of the
print quality settings you can configure are described below. For details, see the
printer driver Help.
❖ Changing the image printing method
You can select to print with priority on print quality or print speed. When
printing images, the higher the resolution of images, the longer the time re-
quired for printing.
❖ Changing the dither pattern
A dither pattern is a pattern of dots used to simulate a color or shade of an
image. If the pattern is changed, the characteristics of the image will also
change. You can select a pattern suitable for the image to be printed.
❖ Changing the method of downloading TrueType fonts to the machine
When you print documents that contain characters in TrueType fonts, gar-
bled or distorted characters may be printed. Changing the method of down-
loading TrueType fonts may help to solve the problem. You can specify
whether TrueType fonts are downloaded as TrueType fonts, bitmapped im-
ages, or graphics.

Print Output Functions

You can specify the form of print outputs according to your purposes. This sec-
tion briefly describes some of the settings that you can specify. For details, see
the printer driver Help.
❖ Printing multiple sets of a document
You can print multiple sets of the same document.
❖ Collating the output in document batches
You can print complete sets of a multiple-page document one set at a time (P1,
P2, P1, P2 ...). If this function is not used when printing multiple sets, prints
will be output in page batches (P1, P1, P2, P2 ...). This function is useful when,
for example, making presentation materials.
